Composing Data-driven Circuits Using Handshake in the Clock-Synchronous Domain
Sýkora, Jaroslav
We present a technique for modelling and synthesis of fine-grained data-driven circuits in the clock-synchronous hardware, such as the field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), called the Flow-Transfer Level (FTL). The distinguishing property of the FTL technique is that it does not rely on FIFO queues to handle flow synchronization between the components (called operators). The communication channels, called pipes, employ conceptually a two-state handshake protocol. The handshake behaviour of each operator is defined logically using dependency subgraphs that are symmetrical for producers and consumers. The original data-flow netlist of operators is transformed into a global control dependency graph. Cycles in dependency graphs are allowed as long as they do not constitute real data dependencies but only dependencies in promises of handshake completions. A method is given that recursively eliminates these cycles.
Extension for Xilinx System Generator - logarithmic arithmetic blockset
Líčko, Miroslav ; Métais, B. ; Tichý, Milan ; Matoušek, Rudolf
The paper introduces support of floating point(FP) data format for the Xilinx System Generator (XSG) using logarithmic arithmetic. This type of arithmetic seems to be one of the promising ways to solve FP sort of DSP problems in practice. Our 32-bit high-speed logarithmic arithmetic (HSLA) keeps the accuracy according to IEEE 754 and speed up some kinds of FP algorithms. Promising is 19-bit equivalent utilised int this paper. It offers reasonable precision for the practical use and has min.HW requirements.
