Abstract:
|
Decisions taken at the earliest steps of the design process may have a significant impact on the characteristics of the final implementation. This paper illustrates how power consumption issues can be tackled during high-level synthesis (high-level transformations, scheduling and binding). Several techniques pursuing low power are proposed and the potential benefits evaluated. The common idea behind these techniques is to reduce the activity of the functional units (e.g. adders, multipliers) by minimizing the changes of their input operands. Preliminary evaluations obtained from switch-level simulations show that significant improvements can be achieved. |
