Abstract :
Grouping variables into multiport memories is an essential step for multiport memory based data path synthesis. The proposed system, GMD, not only groups variables into a minimum number of multiport memory modules, but also simultaneously minimizes the number of registers in each memory module. The minimization problem is formulated as a 0-1 integer linear programming (ILP) problem. Experiments on benchmarks are promising
