Synthesis of Application Specific ProgrammableProcessors poses numerous new tasks onbehavioral synthesis tools.We address some ofthem including application bundling.ApplicationBundling is a synthesis task where n control-data flowgraphs are bundled into at most m groups, so that eachapplication belongs to at least one group and throughputconstraints for all applications are satisfied.We have shown how a variety of application specificconstraints such as manufacturing cost reduction andproduction risk reduction can be targeted during thesynthesis process.The effectiveness of our approach isdemonstrated on a number of real examples.
