This work addresses the issue of exploring design alternatives for data part (as contrasted with control part) implementations for digital systems using register transfer (RT) level components. Certain assumptions are made regarding the RT level of design, and a model for data part designs is postulated. It is shown that the number of possible designs is usually very large. A method to enumerate all possible designs is presented, followed by an algorithm that can generate the designs. The algorithm is easily implementable on a computer to explore the data part design space. A simple example, the implementation of a binary multiplier, is chosen and the different possible designs are generated. An evaluation of the designs along the dimensions of cost and performance is then performed and some interesting aspects of the design space are brought out. Finally, the implications on the design space of changing the component costs are described. |
