Hierarchical behavioral partitioning for multicomponent synthesis
T.S. Rajesh Kumar, Vinoo Srinivasan, Ranga R. Vemuri · European Design Automation Conference · 1996
Packaging technology has tremendously improved over the last decade. Various packaging options such as ASICs, MCMs, boards, etc. should be well explored at early stages of the system-synthesis cycle. In this paper we present a hierarchical behavioral partitioning algorithm which partitions the input behavioral specification into a hierarchical structure and binds all elements of the structure to appropriate packages from a given package library. As an application to our partitioner, we integrated the partitioner with a high level synthesis tool to create an environment for multicomponent synthesis and hierarchical package design. We provide detailed partitioning algorithms and experimental results.
