Abstract

This paper describes methods for partitioning and optimizing controllers described by hierarchical high-level descriptions. The methods utilize the structure of the high-level description, provide flexible exploration of the trade-off between combinational logic and registers to reduce implementation cost, and allow the designer to control the synthesis process. Results are presented using industrial examples.
