Abstract:This paper presents a hardware-software partitioning algorithm that exploits a loop pipelining technique. The partitioning algorithm is based on iterative improvement. The algorithm tries to minimize hardware cost through hardware sharing and hardware implementation selection without violating given performance constraint. The proposed loop pipelining technique, which is an adaptation of a compiler optimization technique for instruction level parallelism, increases parallelism within a loop by transforming the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
