Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Asynchronous data-path synthesis tool Mercury explores a set of area/performance optimum data-path circuits from a data flow graph(DFG), a resource library, and design constraints. However, because the design exploration of Mercury based on branch-and-bound algorithm requires the design space of O(3^), it cannot synthesize data-path circuits from large DFGs. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new filter to reduce the design space while suppressing the effect for the quality of data-path circuits. Because the design space explored by Mercury is efficiently reduced, it can synthesize data-path circuits from large DFGs. By applying our proposed filter to four DFGs, we confirmed the efficiency of our proposed filter.
