Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for the integration of scheduling and allocation in high-level synthesis. It shows how a previous global analysis of the data flow graph structure and the module library features can be used as an appropriate guide to accelerate the process of finding solutions in the design space. Several bounding and guiding heuristics for a branch-and-bound-based exploration are presented. In addition to dealing with basic blocks, the scheduling and allocation method addresses also the treatment of conditional branches and loops.
