Abstract

The synthesis of dynamically reconfigurable systems poses some new challenges for high-level synthesis tools. In this paper, we deal with the task of module allocation as this step has a direct influence on the performance of the dynamically reconfigudreasbiglne. We propose a configuration bundling driven module allocation technique that can be used for component clustering. The basic idea is to group configurable logic together properly so that a given configuration can do as much work as possible, allowing a greater portion of the task to be completed between reconfigurations. Our synthesis methodology addresses the issues of minimizing reconfiguration overhead by maintaining a global view of the resource requirements at all times during the high-level synthesis process.
