From algorithms to parallel architectures: a formal approach
Khaled M. Elleithy, Magdy Bayoumi · 2002
The authors introduce a formal approach for synthesis of parallel architectures. Four different forms are used to express the given algorithms: simultaneous recursion, recursion with respect to different variables, fixed nesting and variable nesting. Four different architectures for the same algorithm are obtained. As an example, a matrix-matrix multiplication algorithm is used to obtain four different optimal architectures. The different architectures of this example are compared in terms of area, time, broadcasting and required hardware. The approach is providing two main features: completeness and correctness.>
