Abstract :
Partitioned memory architectures increase code size by introducing bank selection instructions while extending memory space. Assigning variables into shared memory can avoid redundant use of bank selection instructions. We present a dynamic programming algorithm to generate the optimal assignments. Compared with manual assignments, our experiments show that the reduction of code size is between 3.2% and 13.0%.
