  • Abstract
    This paper presents the Snapshot Method, a technique that fills a void in existing synthesis systems by considering inter-instruction data dependencies while defining a pipeline structure. These dependencies can make it impossible to overlap the execution of some sequences of instructions thus the detection and resolution of such sequences is an important contribution of this work. Experimental results for a design of the IBM ROMP architecture are presented.
