Advances in Compiler Construction for Adaptive Computers

Abstract This paper presents a compiler system for adaptive computing. Our appraoch increases the flexibility and usability in a way that allows to port the system to different targets with a minimal effort. Built on an existing design flow, we try to reach a new level of functionality by analyzing and partitioning C programs at the highest possible description level. We show that the analysis on this level is more efficient than on lower ones due to the exploitability of more expressive programming constructs. The improved analysis results combined with a new SSA based algorithm for data path creation can lead to a higher solution quality of the final system configuration
