Global hardware synthesis from behavioral dataflow descriptions
Josef Scheichenzuber, Werner Grass, Ulrich Lauther, Sabine März · 1990
This paper reports on a new bottom-up synthesis technique for general behavioral descriptions. Our technique extends traditional straight-line code synthesis by allowing hierarchical, block-structured dataflow graphs with block-level parallelism. Program path probabilities are taken into account; and both high-level synthesis and design-space exploration are addressed.
