Rapid advances in microelectronic integration and the advent of
Systems-on-Chip have fueled the need for high-level synthesis,
i.e., an automated approach to the synthesis of hardware from
behavioral descriptions.
SPARK: A Parallelizing Approach to the High - Level Synthesis of
Digital Circuits presents a novel approach to the high-level
synthesis of digital circuits -- that of parallelizing high-level
synthesis (PHLS). This approach uses aggressive code parallelizing
and code motion techniques to discover circuit optimization
opportunities beyond what is possible with traditional high-level
synthesis. This PHLS approach addresses the problems of the poor
quality of synthesis results and the lack of controllability over
the transformations applied during the high-level synthesis of
system descriptions with complex control flows, that is, with
nested conditionals and loops.
Also described are speculative code motion techniques and dynamic
compiler transformations that optimize the circuit quality in terms
of cycle time, circuit size and interconnect costs. We describe the
SPARK parallelizing high-level synthesis framework in which we have
implemented these techniques and demonstrate the utility of SPARK's
PHLS approach using designs derived from multimedia and image
processing applications. We also present a case study of an
instruction length decoder derived from the Intel Pentium-class of
microprocessors. This case study serves as an example of a typical
microprocessor functional block with complex control flow and
demonstrates how our techniques are useful for such designs.
SPARK: A Parallelizing Approach to the High - Level Synthesis of
Digital Circuits is targeted mainly to embedded system designers
and researchers. This includes people working on design and design
automation. The book is useful for researchers and design
automation engineers who wish to understand how the main problems
hindering the adoption of high-level synthesis among designers.
