Formal techniques for hardware allocation
J.M. Mendı́as, Román Hermida, M. Fernández · 2002
Hardware reusability is a key aspect of behavioral synthesis which is mainly based on the possibility of implementing several operators with a single module. This shared use of resources is heavily dependent on the ability of the synthesis tool to identify candidate operators to be merged. Some ideas for the creation of a uniform framework where the semantics of hardware modules can be formally expressed are presented in this paper. The application to hardware allocation through symbolic manipulation is also addressed.
