Abstract(in English) In high-level synthesis for DSP data paths, scheduling of data flow graphs plays a primary role. In scheduling, it is required that a hardware resource amount is estimated as precisely as possible, and that operations are assigned to control steps so that a resource amount is minimized. In addition, pipelining that overlaps operations is necessary in high-speed DSP application such as image processing. In this paper, we propose a time constraint scheduling algorithm that deals with pipelining, and minimizes both functional unit and register costs. In our algorithm, the control step regarded as the worst in terms of a resource cost is gradually eliminated for each operation in each iteration. Finally, each operation is assigned to one control step. Experimental results for practical DSP data flow graphs show that our algorithm obtains near optimal solutions in less than one second.
