Abstract(in English) Abstract As device feature size decreases, interconnection delay becomes the dominating factor of circuit total delay. It is necessary to deal with floorplan information such as placement and interconnection delay even in high-level synthesis stage. In this paper, we propose a high-level synthesis method targeting generalized distributed-register (GDR) architecture in which we introduce shared/local registers and global/local controllers. In GDR architecture, by adding local register/controller to bottlenecked FU, we can obtain high performance circuit. By sharing register/controller between non-bottlenecked FUs, we can reduce circuit area. Our method automatically selects register/controller configuration by target application and constraints. Experimental results show that 7.6% area reduction can be achieved compared to the conventional floorplan-aware high-level synthesis method.
