| description | This article presents CHiPReP, a C compiler for the HiPReP processor, which is a high-performance Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array employing Floating-Point Units. CHiPReP is an extension of the LLVM and CCF compiler frameworks. Its main contributions are (i) a Splitting Algorithm for Data Dependence Graphs, which distributes the computations of a C loop to Address-Generator Units and Processing Elements; (ii) a novel instruction clustering and scheduling heuristic; and (iii) an integrated placement, pipeline balancing and routing optimization method based on Simulated Annealing. The compiler was verified and analyzed using a cycle-accurate HiPReP simulation model. |
