A Technology-Adaptive Allocation of Functional Units and Connections
01 January 1989
A new algorithm of allocating functional units and connections in the connections in the data path synthesis has been developed. Input to the algorithm includes the problem description in the form of the scheduled computation graph, and the technology data indicating the availability and cost (i.e., area) of functional units as well as connections. The algorithm constructs optimized data paths at the register transfer level by assigning operation nodes in the graph to functional units.
