Title
Multi-Purpose Systems: A Novel Dataflow-Based Generation And Mapping Strategy
Abstract
The manual creation of specialized hardware infrastructures for complex multi-purpose systems is error-prone and time-consuming. Moreover, lots of effort is required to define an optimized and heterogeneous components library. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel design flow based on the Dataflow Process Networks Model of Computation. In particular, we have combined the operation of two state of the art tools, the Multi-Dataflow Composer and the Open RVC-CAL Compiler, handling respectively the automatic mapping of are configurable multi-purpose substrate and the high level synthesis of hardware components. Our approach guarantees runtime efficiency and on-chip area saving both on FPGAs and ASICs.
