Our method repeats (1) scheduling/FU binding (2) register allocation (3) register binding and (4) module placement. By feeding back floorplan information from (4) to (1) our method obtains a distributed/shared-register architecture where its scheduling/binding as well as floorplaning are simultaneously optimized. Experimental results show that the area is decreased by 13.2% while maintaining the performance of the circuit equal with that using distributed-register architectures., In this paper, we propose a high-level synthesis method targeting distributed/shared-register architectures.
