THURSDAY, June 16, 2005, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Room: 209AB
TOPIC AREA:  SYSTEM-LEVEL DESIGN AND VERIFICATION (tools)

   SESSION 49
  Optimization Techniques in High-Level Synthesis
  Chair: Matt Moe - Forte Design Systems, Pittsburgh, PA
  Organizers: John Sanguinetti, Stephen Edwards

  High Level Synthesis is fundamentally about optimizing the resulting design. The papers in this session cover a variety of optimization techniques from minimizing the bit width of data values to creating fault-tolerant biochips. Papers include a technique to minimize buffer requirements and a technique to efficiently analyze pointers in C source code.
