Design of high throughput, low latency and low cost structures for linear systems

This paper introduces heuristic transformation techniques to simultaneously optimize throughput and latency of linear time-invariant systems. The technique is based on a properly coordinated manipulation of an arbitrary initial specification by both high level synthesis and symbolic algebraic manipulation tools. The technique produces implementations that not only have high throughput and low latency, but also have lower area and power requirements compared to the initial specifications. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated on a number of high level synthesis DSP benchmarks
