Popis: Efficient CAD tools are desired to reduce the increasing design efforts when algorithms implemented on ASICs are getting more complicated. For microprogrammed accelerator design, a control unit synthesizer is of great importance since the manual design of a controller for a complicated task requires substantial effort. While a hardware specific implementation results in higher performance or lower power consumption than a programmable solution, exibility might be crucial. Therefore, in the future it is desirable to have on chip control units to be more or less programmable. The goal of the project is to develop design methodologies for such a design environment. Those methodologies should be implemented into a tool to reduce design time and allow exibility of the design process.
