Abstract(in English) With process technology scaling, heat problems in IC chips as well as increasing the average interconnection delays are becoming serious issues. Recently, we have proposed a binding and allocation algorithm for regular-distributed-register architectures (RDR architectures) with the objective of minimizing the peak temperature. In this paper, we propose an improved thermal-aware high-level synthesis algorithm for RDR architectures. The RDR architecture divides the entire chip into islands regularly. Firstly, our algorithm balances the energy consumption among islands through re-binding to functional units. Secondly, it accurately estimates the energy consumption in each island and minimizes the maximum energy consumption among islands through re-allocating new additional functional units. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm reduces the peak temperature by up to 15.42% compared with the conventional approaches.
