Abstract :
A system of elementary structural transformations useful for design space exploration at the register transfer (RT) level is presented. Its effectiveness and expressive power are discussed. It is shown that these elementary transformations can be used to perform a number of optimizations proposed by other researchers. This study also shows that many transformations used in high-level synthesis systems are of a purely structural nature
