Abstract(in English) With the recent advances in the semiconductor manufacturing technologies, the delay of communication on wires becomes dominant among the total delay. Therefore it is getting difficult to obtain high-speed LSIs by using the conventional LSI design methods. In this paper, to overcome the problem of the conventional design methods, we propose an LSI design method where floorplanning and high-level synthesis are performed simultaneously. This method consists of (1) functional-unit binding, (2) floorplanning the functional-units and registers, and (3) scheduling and register binding, and the best solution is searched by using simulated annealing. We show effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments.
