Although asynchronous designs have become a promising way to develop complex modern digital systems, there is a few complete design framework for VLSI designers who wish to use automatic CAD tools. Especially, high-level synthesis is not widely concerned until now. In this paper we Proposed a method for high-level synthesis of asynchronous systems as a part of an asynchronous design framework. Our method performs scheduling, allocation, and binding, which are three subtasks of high-level synthesis, in simultaneous using a transformational approach. To deal with complexity of high-level synthesis we use neighborhood search algorithm such as Tabu search.

High-level synthesis(HLS)는 주어진 동작(behavior)과 면적(area), 성능(performance), 전력 소비량, 패키징, 테스팅등의 주어진 제한을 만족하게 구현된 구조적 디자인을 생성한다. 즉 high-level synthesis란 디지털 시스템의 알고리즘 단계 서술로부터 레지스터 전달구조의 구현에 이르는 과정을 의미한다. 이러한 high-level synthesis의 과정은 컴파일, 분할(partitioning), 스케줄링(scheduling)등의 단계를 거쳐 디지털 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 high-level synthesis의 단계 중 스케줄링 과정에서 제한조건이 실리콘 면적으로 주어지는 경우에 최적의 functional unit의 수를 찾아내어 최소의 control step에 효과적으로 스케줄링 가능한 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

High-level synthesis (HLS), which automatically synthesizes a register-transfer level (RTL) circuit from a behavioral description written in a high-level programming language such as C/C++, is becoming a more popular technique for improving design productivity. In general, HLS tools often generate a circuit with a larger area than those of hand-designed ones. One reason for this issue is that HLS tools often generate multiple instances of the same module from a function. To eliminate such a redundancy in circuit area in HLS, HLS tools are capable of sharing modules. Function-level module sharing at a behavioral description written in a high-level programming language may promote function reuse to increase effectiveness and reduce circuit area. In this paper, we present two HLS techniques for module sharing at the function level.

이 논문은 파이프라인 함성을 위한 상위수준 데이터 경로 하성과 콘트롤 합성의 통합에 관한 연구이다. 현재 대부분의 상위수준 합성 방법은 콘트롤 영역의 영향을 무시하는데 보다 나은 설계를 위하여 데이터 경로디자인 영역과 콘트롤 디자인 영역을 통합하여 탐색하는 파이프라인 상위수준함성 도구를 구현했다. 이 도구는 비용 제한 하에서 최고 성능의 파이프라인을 합성하는 비용재한합성과 성능 제한 하에서 최서 비용의 파이프라인을 합성하는 성능 제한합성의 두 가지 방식을 제공한다.

We present an approach to high-level synthesis for a specific target architecture-partitioned bus architecture. In this approach, we have specific goals of minimizing data transfer length and number of buses in addition to common synthesis goals such as minimizing number of control steps and satisfying given resource constraint. Minimizing data transfer length and number of buses can be very important design goals in the era of deep submicron technology in which interconnection delay and area dominate total delay and area of the chip to be designed. in partitioned bus architecture, to get optimal solution satisfying all the goals, partitioning of operation nodes among segments and ordering of segments as well as scheduling and allocation/binding must be considered concurrently. Those additional goals may impose much more complexity on the existing high-level synthesis problem. To cope with this increased complexity and get reasonable results, we have employed two ideas in ur synthesis approach-extension of the target architecture to alleviate bus requirement for data transfer and adoption of genetic algorithm as a principal methodology for design space exploration. Experimental results show that our approach is a promising high-level synthesis mehtodology for partitioned bus architecture.

We introduce a high level synthesis methodlogoy for automatic synthesis of asynchronous circuits form a language based on CSP. The input language is a high level concurrent algorithmic specification that can model complex concurrent control flow, logical and arithmetic computation and communications between them. This specification is translated into petri net which has actions. These actions are refined to synthesize the controllers and to allocate the data resources. We use the automatic synthesis through signal transition graphs (STGs) that allows to take advantage of logic synthsis methods to optimize the circuit.

High-level synthesis는 주어진 동작과 면적, 성능, 전력 소모, 패키징, 테스팅 등의 주어진 제한을 만족하게 구현된 구조적 디자인을 생성한다. 즉 high-level syntehesis란 디지털 시스템의 알고리즘 레벨 서술로부터 레지스터 전달구조의 구현에 이르는 과정을 의미한다. 이러한 high-level synthesis의 과정은 컴파일, 분할, 스케줄링 등의 단계를 거쳐 디지털 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 high-level synthesis의 단계중 분할 과정을 연구하고, 분할 알고리즘 중에서 min-cut 알고리즘과 simulated annealing 알고리즘을 사용하여 비교 분석하였다.

High-Level synthesis of digital circuits calls for automatic translation of a behavioral description to a structural design entity represented in terms of components and connection. One of the critical steps in high-level synthesis is to determine a particular scheduling algorithm that will assign behavioral operations to control states. A new scheduling algorithm called Data Availability Scheduling (DAS) for high-level synthesis is presented. It can determine an appropriate scheduling algorithm and minimize the number of states required using data availability and dependency conditions extracted from the behavioral code, taking into account of states required using data availability and dependency conditions extracted from the behavioral code, taking into account resource constraint in each control state. The DAS algorithm is efficient because data availability conditions, and conditional and wait statements break the behavioral code into manageable pieces which are analyzed independently. The output is the number of states in a finite state machine and shows better results than those of previous algorithms.

This paper propose that is algorithm of power dissipation reduction in the high level synthesis design for DSP(Digital Signal Processor), as the portable terminal system recently demand high power dissipation. This paper obtain effect of power dissipation reduction and switching activity that increase correlation of operands as input data of function unit. The algorithm search loop or repeatedly data to the input operands of function unit. That can be reduce the power dissipation using the new low power high level synthesis algorithm. In this Paper, scheduling operation search same nodes from input DFG(Data Flow Graph) with correlation coefficient of first input node and among nodes. Function units consist a multiplier, an adder and a register. The power estimation method is added switching activity for each bits of nodes. The power estimation have good efficient using proposed algorithm. This paper result obtain more Power reduction of fifty percents after using a new low power algorithm in a function unit as multiplier.
