Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a novel Behavioral Synthesis method that improves a performance of synthesized circuits utilizing specialized functional units efficiently. Specialized functional units are the units designed for specific operation patterns to achieve shorter delay and/or smaller area than cascaded basic functional units. The proposed method makes it possible to solve module selection, scheduling, and functional unit allocation problems utilizing specialized functional units in practical time with some heuristics, and the number of clock cycles can be reduced under total area and clock cycle time constraints with the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method has achieved up to 35% and on average 14% reduction of the number of cycles with specialized functional units in practical time.
