A Design Methodology for Space-Time Adapter
Résumé
This paper presents a solution to efficiently explore the design space of communication adapters. In most digital signal processing (DSP) applications, the overall architecture of the system is significantly affected by communication architecture, so the designers need specifically optimized adapters. By explicitly modeling these communications within an effective graph-theoretic model and analysis framework, we automatically generate an optimized architecture, named Space-Time AdapteR (STAR). Our design flow inputs a C description of Input/Output data scheduling, and user requirements (throughput, latency, parallelism...), and formalizes communication constraints through a Resource Constraints Graph (RCG). The RCG properties enable an efficient architecture space exploration in order to synthesize a STAR component. The proposed approach has been tested to design an industrial data mixing block example: an Ultra-Wideband interleaver.
