Automating the pipeline of arithmetic datapaths
Jeudi 17 novembre 2016Matei Istoan (CITI Lab, INSA de Lyon)
The presentation describes the new framework for semi-automatic circuit
pipelining that will be used in future releases of FloPoCo, an arithmetic core
generator for FPGAs. From a single description of an operator or datapath,
optimized implementations can be obtained automatically for a wide range of
FPGA targets and a wide range of frequency/latency trade-offs. Compared to
previous versions of FloPoCo, the level of abstraction has been raised,
enabling easier development, shorter generator code, and better pipeline
optimization. The proposed approach is also more flexible than fully automatic
pipelining approaches. In the proposed technique, the incremental construction
of the pipeline, along with the circuit graph enables architectural design
decisions that depend on the pipeline. These allow pipeline-dependent changes
to the circuit graph for finer optimization.
