A Framework for Algorithmic and Architectural Transformations

Abstract

Chapters 2 to 7 have presented many algorithmic and architectural transformations targeted to the weighted-sum and the MCM computations realized using different implementation styles. This chapter proposes a framework that encapsulates these transformations and enables a systematic exploration of the area-delay-power solution space. The framework is based on a classification of the transformations into seven categories which exploit unique properties of the DSP algorithms and the implementation styles.
