Abstract—We present a throughput-driven partitioning algorithm and a throughput-preserving merging algorithm for the high-level physical synthesis of latency-insensitive (LI) sys...
High level synthesis transformations play a major part in shaping the properties of the final circuit. However, most optimizations are performed without much knowledge of the fina...
