Lattice-based memory allocation

—We investigate the problem of memory reuse in order to reduce the memory needed to store an array variable. We develop techniques that can lead to smaller memory requirements in the synthesis of dedicated processors or to more effective use by compiled code of software-controlled scratchpad memory. Memory reuse is well-understood for allocating registers to hold scalar variables. Its extension to arrays has been studied recently for multimedia applications, for loop parallelization, and for circuit synthesis
