Abstract :
A design methodology and prototype tool to automate the design and architectural exploration of hardware accelerators are described in this paper. In comparison to other approaches, we utilize a well-engineered template to enable fast convergence to an area and speed efficient design. We show how this methodology is used for an application set with various architectural configurations
