The design of a Synthesis Algorithm for Multichip Architectures
Multichip아키텍춰 합성 알고리듬 설계
Abstract
Design of a heuristic algorithm for high level synthesis of multichip architecture is presented in this paper. Considering the design constraints: individual chip area, I/O pin counts, chip-to-chip interconnection counts, interchip communication delay, and chip latecy, the proposed system automatically generates pipelined multichip architectures from behavioral descriptions. For efficient mulichip synthesis, a new methodology is proposed, which performs partitioning and schedulting of SFG into multichip architectures simultaneously. Experimental results for several benchmark programs show that the systems can be used for designing multichip hardware efficiently.
