Fast Design Space Exploration Method for Reconfigurable Architectures

In this paper we propose an original and fast design space exploration method targeting reconfigurable architectures. This method takes place during the first steps of a design flow that works at the algorithmic level. It uses as input a high level specification of the application and is based on a functional model to describe the architectures to compare. This paper describes the projection step of the flow and presents an allocation heuristic that is based on communication costs reduction.
