Automated exploration of datapath and unrolling factor during power–performance tradeoff in architectural synthesis using multi-dimensional PSO algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• Simultaneous exploration of datapath and loop UF through multi-dimensional PSO.

• An estimation model for delay computation of a loop unrolled CDFG used in most cases.

• Balancing tradeoff between power–performance as well as control states and delay.

• Sensitivity analysis of swarm size and its impact on exploration time and QoR of DSE.
