Synchronization Processor Synthesis for Latency Insensitive Systems

In this paper we present our contribution in terms of synchronization processor for a SoC design methodology based on the theory of the latency insensitive systems (LIS) of Carloni et al. Our contribution consists in IP encapsulation into a new wrapper model which speed and area are optimized and synthetizability guarantied. The main benefit of our approach is to preserve the local IP performances when encapsulating them and reduce SoC silicon area.

High-level synthesis under I/O Timing and Memory constraints

The design of complex Systems-on-Chips implies to take into account communication and memory access constraints for the integration of dedicated hardware accelerator. In this paper, we present a methodology and a tool that allow the High-Level Synthesis of DSP algorithm, under both I/O timing and memory constraints. Based on formal models and a generic architecture, this tool helps the designer to find a reasonable trade-off between both the required I/O timing behavior and the internal memory access parallelism of the circuit. The interest of our approach is demonstrated on the case study of a FFT algorithm.

Synthèse Comportementale Sous Contraintes de Communication et de Placement Mémoire pour les composants du TDSI

The design of complex Digital Signal Processing systems implies to minimize architectural cost and to maximize timing performances while taking into account communication and memory accesses constraints for the integration of dedicated hardware accelerator. Unfortunately, the traditional Matlab/ Simulink design flows gather not very flexible hardware blocs. In this paper, we present a methodology and a tool that permit the High-Level Synthesis of DSP applications, under both I/O timing and memory constraints. Based on formal models and a generic architecture, our tool GAUT helps the designer in finding a reasonable trade-off between the circuit's performance and its architectural complexity. The efficiency of our approach is demonstrated on the case study of a FFT algorithm.
