Abstract :
VLSI HLS design is a typical design optimization problem with a focus on generating good solutions. Typical expert design systems incorporate a large amount of domain knowledge to generate good initial solutions. These systems are unable to use information gleaned from analysis of the solutions (feedback) to generate better solutions. The paper describes a new technique called Constrained-Redo that uses feedback to improve both the power and coverage of an existing design system, the DAA system
