Formalized Three-Layer System-Level Reuse Model and Methodology for Embedded Data-Dominated Applications
Overview In embedded data-dominated applications a global system-level data transfer and storage exploration phase is crucial in obtaining an efficient solution. We have developed a novel formalism to describe reusable blocks such that the essential part of the design exploration freedom is retained. This formalism is the basis for a system-level reuse methodology which allows to reuse large parts of the design as structural VHDL and describes the costly data access related constructs at higher levels in the code hierarchy. Compared to a reuse approach based on fixed blocks, considerable power and area savings can be obtained, as demonstrated on real-life video and modem applications.
