Abstract

This paper presents an extension of the AAA rapid prototyping methodology for the optimized implementation of real-time applications onto reconfigurable circuits. This extension is based on an unified model of factorized data dependence graphs as well to specify the application algorihtm, as to deduce the possible implementations onto reconfigurable hardware. This is formalized in terms of graphs transformations. This seamless transformation flow has been implemented in a CAD software tool called SynDEx-IC.
