Original Abstract

This paper proposes a new module selection algorithm for high-level synthesis. The algorithm uses an evolutionary approach to find the modules configuration set that satisfies design timing constraints while minimizing the total design cost (area). The algorithm has been incorporated in a well-characterized design space exploration strategy that aims to help designers to systematically find efficient implementation(s) of their designs that meet the design constraints. Incorporating module selection axis to the design space enable designers to evaluate large number of design alternatives by varying module selection and the latency or the resources required to implement the given design. We also present some experimental results for standard benchmarks to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
