Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm for the generation of pipelined designs developed for use in an interactive behavioural synthesis system. Our technique uses a novel iterative optimisation algorithm that allows the user to trade-off interactive response time with solution quality. Two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. These provide comparisons with (i) an expert designer and (ii) recently published algorithms for pipeline synthesis.
