Transformational Design Basics 1 Transformational Design Basics 1. Introduction 2. Unified design representations 3. ETPN 4. The ETPN transformation process. 5. Basic ETPN transformations Zebo Peng, IDA, LiTH Transformational Design Basics 2 Transformational Approach to HLS VHDL Allocation Scheduling Binding RTL Traditional Approach Transformational Approach • Optimization heuristics • Correctness by construction • Integration of several synthesis tasks • Several criteria can be considered simultaneously: - performance/cost trade-offs - power consumption and testability - geometry information - pre-specified partial structure (design re-use) Zebo Peng, IDA, LiTH Transformational Design Basics 3 Unified Design Representation • Used to capture the intermediate results of the trans- formational process. • Data flow and control flow information must be explic- itly represented. • Expressiveness: It should represent both the struc- tural and behavioral aspects of a design. • Concurrency: It must be able to deal naturally with concurrency of computations. • Modularity: It should support decomposition of sys- tems in a clear and well-defined way. • Interface: It should represent a design to the design- ers in a convenient way, best by means of graphics. • Formalness: It should have a precisely defined se-
