Title
Architectural retiming: pipelining latency-constrained circuits
Abstract
Abstract - This paper,presents,a new,optimization technique called architectural retiming which is able to im- prove the performance,of many,latency-constrained circuits. Architectural retiming achieves this by increasing the num- ber of registers on the latency-constrained,path while pre- serving the functionality and latency of the circuit. This is done using the concept of a negative register, which can be implemented,using precomputation,and prediction. We use the name,architectural retiming since it both resched- ules operations,in time and,modifies,the structure of the circuit to preserve its functionality. We illustrate the use of architectural retiming on two realistic examples,and present performance,improvement,results for a number,of sample circuits. 1 The Problem The performance,of synchronous,digital systems is measured
