Abstract

We offer a technique to partition a centralized control-flow graph to obtain distributed control in the context of asynchronous high-level synthesis. The technique targets Huffman-style asynchronous controllers that are customized to the problem. It solves the key problem of handling signals that are shared between the partitions-a problem due to the incompletely specified nature of asynchronous controllers. We report encouraging experimental results on realistic examples
