Inhaltsangabe

Rapid advances in microelectronic integration and the advent of Systems-on-Chip have fueled the need for high-level synthesis, i.e., an automated approach to the synthesis of hardware from behavioral descriptions.
SPARK: A Parallelizing Approach to the High - Level Synthesis of Digital Circuits presents a novel approach to the high-level synthesis of digital circuits -- that of parallelizing high-level synthesis (PHLS). This approach uses aggressive code parallelizing and code motion techniques to discover circuit optimization opportunities beyond what is possible with traditional high-level synthesis. This PHLS approach addresses the problems of the poor quality of synthesis results and the lack of controllability over the transformations applied during the high-level synthesis of system descriptions with complex control flows, that is, with nested conditionals and loops.
Also described are speculative code motion techniques and dynamic compiler transformations that optimize the circuit quality in terms of cycle time, circuit size and interconnect costs. We describe the SPARK parallelizing high-level synthesis framework in which we have implemented these techniques and demonstrate the utility of SPARK's PHLS approach using designs derived from multimedia and image processing applications. We also present a case study of an instruction length decoder derived from the Intel Pentium-class of microprocessors. This case study serves as an example of a typical microprocessor functional block with complex control flow and demonstrates how our techniques are useful for such designs.
SPARK: A Parallelizing Approach to the High - Level Synthesis of Digital Circuits is targeted mainly to embedded system designers and researchers. This includes people working on design and design automation. The book is useful for researchers and design automation engineers who wish to understand how the main problems hindering the adoption of high-level synthesis among designers.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rajesh Gupta MBBS MD FRCA EDRA FFPMRCA is a Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Management for the NHS in London and Honorary Lecturer at the University of East Anglia. He gained his medical degree from the University of Jammu, India, and continued his training at the North Central School of Anesthesia, London, UK. He became a Consultant in 2014. His interests include acute and chronic pain management, Neuromodulation, use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia and pain medicine. He is involved with teaching undergraduates and is an examiner for the same. Alex Aiken is the Alcatel-Lucent Professor and the current chair of the Computer Science Department at Stanford. His research interests include most areas of programming languages and compilers and particularly automated methods of analysis for both high performance and high reliability.Utpal Banerjee has a PhD in mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University and a PhD in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has taught at the University of Cincinnati, Arizona State University and the University of Illinois. Dr. Banerjee has served as a research staff member at Honeywell, Fairchild, Control Data and Intel corporations. His current affiliation is with the Department of Computer Science, University of California at Irvine. He has published a number of papers and books on restructuring compilers, including encyclopedia articles and a series of books on loop transformations. He is a fellow of the IEEE and a fellow of the ACM. Arun Kejariwal is a Statistical Learning Principal at Machine Zone. He co-founded MZ Research and currently manages a team of research scientists. He is leading the research and development of novel algorithms for fraud detection, anomaly detection in security and operational data. Prior to joining Machine Zone, he was a lead in the Data Fidelity Team at Twitter and open sourced standalone R packages for anomaly detection and breakout detection. He received Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Irvine and is a Senior Member of IEEE and ACM.Alexandru Nicolau's research is in the areas of Parallel Processing/ILP, and Embedded Systems/Design Automation. His interests focus on Computer Performance/power tradeoffs, parallelizing compilers, GPUs. His current work involves collaborations both within and outside UCI, most recently with researchers at Stanford, University of Michigan, UCLA, UCSD as part of a flagship NSF Expedition project, and a separate grant with UIUC. He authored over 300 peer-reviewed papers and several books. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Parallel Processing, and an IEEE Fellow.
