Abstract
This works presents a Design Space Exploration (DSE) method for Behavioral IPs (BIPs) given in ANSI-C or SystemC to find the smallest micro-architecture for a specific target latency. Previous work on High-Level Synthesis (HLS) DSE mainly focused on finding a tradeoff curve with Pareto-optimal designs. HLS is, however, a single process (component) synthesis method. Very often, the latency of the components requires a specific fixed latency when inserted within a larger system. This work presents a fast multi-threaded method to find the smallest micro-architecture for a given BIP and target latency by discriminating between all different exploration
knobs
and exploring these concurrently. Experimental results show that our proposed method is very effective and comprehensive results compare the quality of results vs. the speedup of your proposed explorer.
