Methods and Algorithms for a High-Level Synthesis of the Very-Large-Scale Integration
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: We develop methods and algorithms for a high-level synthesis and a formal verification of the architecture for very-large-scale integration (VLSI). The proposed approach is based on the functional-flow paradigm of parallel computing and enables one to perform architecture-independent VLSI synthesis by the construction of a computing model in the form of intermediate structures of control and data graphs. This approach also provides an opportunity to verify a design at the formal description stage before the synthesis of the register-gate representation. Algorithms and methods are developed for the construction and optimization of an intermediate representation of a computing model, the verification, and going to the register-gate description of VLSI. The stages of the high-level VLSI synthesis are formed in the context of the proposed technique. An example of the synthesis of a typical module is considered for a digital signal processing. Results of the practical modeling are presented for an example.
