Resource-Aware Throughput Optimization for High-Level Synthesis
Peng Li, Peng Zhang, Louis-Noël Pouchet, Jason Cong · 2015
With the emergence of robust high-level synthesis tools to automatically transform codes written in high-level languages into RTL implementations, the programming productivity when synthesising accelerators improves significantly. However, although the state-of-the-art high-level synthesis tools can offer high-quality designs for simple nested loop kernels, there is still a significant performance gap between the synthesized and the optimal design for real world complex applications with multiple loops.
