Firstly, hardware and software partition of the high-level algorithm is explored to determine which part will be executed on the FPGA. Secondly, in allusion to hardware partition, approaches are applied to remove the data dependency between different functions, improve the parallelism of the loops and pipeline the loop body. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the Alpha-beta searching algorithm, which is used for designing Blokus-Duo game player. The experimental results show that the high-level codes can be transformed automatically to the appropriate pattern which
