Fasolt

Résumé du livre

Abstract: "This paper describes Fasolt, a system that automatically optimizes the bus topology of a register-level datapath design. The unique aspect of Fasolt is that is uses information taken from a detailed layout model to choose optimizing transformations of the bus topology and the schedule of operations and transfers of an existing design. Such a system is called a feedback-driven system because it uses information derived at a low level (in this case, that of physical layout) to drive the selection of optimizing transformations at a higher level or levels (in this case, the scheduling and allocation levels).
