DASS: Combining Dynamic & Static Scheduling in High-Level Synthesis

Paolo Ienne, Lana Josipovic

A central task in high-level synthesis is scheduling: the allocation of operations to clock cycles. The classic approach to scheduling is static, in which each operation is mapped to a clock cycle at compile-time, but recent years have seen the emergence o ...
