Abstract

We describe an automatic method for synthesizing pipelined processors that optimizes throughput and automatically resolves control and data hazards. We present rules that describe how to resolve hazards based on the data dependencies between functional units. We demonstrate our method by showing optimal pipeline configurations of the DLX.
