Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
We present a technique for synthesizing power- as well as area-optimized circuits from hierarchical data flow graphs under throughput constraints. We allow for the use of complex...
Abstract—Interconnects (wires, buffers, clock distribution networks, multiplexers and busses) consume a significant fraction of total circuit power. In this work, we demonstrat...
This paper presents a novel source-level dynamic analysis methodology and tool for High-Level Synthesis (HLS). It not only for the first time enables HLS to offer source-level de...
A design methodology for the synthesis of digital circuits used in high throughput digital modems is presented. The methodology spans digital modem design from the link level to t...
