Abstract :
High throughput applications require dedicated datapaths. Their performance can be improved by selecting an appropriate logic implementation and by optimising the number and position of pipeline registers. The CHOPIN-2 toolbox provides the user with the possibility to generate a number of design alternatives and optimise the clock speed. The CHOPIN-2 system has been implemented and tested on a number of industrial datapaths.
