Conventional Steps in High-Level Synthesis
Conventional Steps in High-Level Synthesis
m Scheduling: Assignment of operations to control steps
m Allocation: Determining the number and types of operators needed to implement behavior
m Mapping: Assigning operations to specific operators
Type selection: which type of operator should be used? (e.g. add on ALU or adder)Instance mapping: actual mapping to specific hardware module
