Abstract
SPAID, a design tool that maps digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms into a multibus VLSI architecture is discussed. Algorithm structure, design style of functional units (FU), and parallelism of the architecture are all explored in the design space. SPAID supports pipelined and multicycle functional units. The synthesized processor is a self-timed element externally, while it is internally synchronous. SPAID explores a wider space, and produces better solutions compared with existing synthesis systems on an elliptic filter benchmark design example. A multibus multifunctional unit processor matched to the implemented algorithm is synthesized using SPAID.<

期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits publishes papers each month in the broad area of solid-state circuits with particular emphasis on transistor-level design of integrated circuits. It also provides coverage of topics such as circuits modeling, technology, systems design, layout, and testing that relate directly to IC design. Integrated circuits and VLSI are of principal interest; material related to discrete circuit design is seldom published. Experimental verification is strongly encouraged.
