Simultaneous Scheduling, Binding and Floorplanning in High-level Synthesis

چکیده
With small device features in sub-micron technologies, interconnection delays play a dominant part in cycle time. Hence, it is important to consider the impact of physical design during high level synthesis. In comparison to a traditional approach which separates high-level synthesis from physical design, an algorithm which is able to make these stages interact very closely, would result in solutions with lower latency and area. However, such an approach could result in increased runtimes. Parallel processing is an attractive way of reducing the runtimes. In this paper, two parallel algorithms for simultaneous scheduling, binding and floorplanning algorithm are presented. A detailed hardware model is considered, taking into account multiplexor and register areas and delays. Experimental results are reported on an IBM SP-2 multicomputer, with close to linear speedups for a set of benchmark circuits.

A Temperature-Aware Scheduling with Incremental Binding and Floorplanning for HLS
Modern Integrated Circuits’ reliability and performance mainly depends upon its temperature and power due to the continuous process scaling. The IC peak temperature depends upon the power density of the IC. Thus, a power-aware High-Level Synthesis technique concentrates on the overall power reduction and is not appropriate for temperature-aware IC design. The temperature-aware design technique ...

This work is a contribution to high level synthesis for low power systems. While device feature size decreases, interconnect power becomes a dominating factor. Thus it is important that accurate physical information is used during high-level synthesis [1]. We propose a new power optimisation algorithm for RTlevel netlists. The optimisation performs simultaneously slicingtree structure-based flo...

In this paper we present two polynomial time-complexity heuristic algorithms for optimization of gate-oxide leakage (tunneling current) during behavioral synthesis through simultaneous scheduling and binding. One algorithm considers the time-constraint explicitly and the other considers it implicitly while both account for resource constraints. The algorithms selectively bind the off-critical o...
