Area Optimisation for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays in SystemC Hardware Compilation

This paper discusses a pair of synthesis algorithms that optimise a SystemC design to minimise area when targeting FPGAs. Each can significantly improve the synthesis of a high-level language construct, thus allowing a designer to concentrate more on an algorithm description and less on hardware-spe...
