Hardware reusability is a key aspect of behavioral synthesis which is mainly based on the possibility of implementing several operators with a single module. This shared use of resources is heavily dependent on the ability of the synthesis tool to identify candidate operators to be merged. Some ideas for the creation of a uniform framework where the semantics of hardware modules can be formally expressed are presented in this paper. The application to hardware allocation through symbolic manipulation is also addressed.
Index Terms:
high level synthesis, hardware allocation, hardware reusability, behavioral synthesis, semantics, hardware modules, symbolic manipulation, synthesis tool, candidate operators identification
