Abstract
The combination of design automation (via full-span structural silicon compilation) and the elegance and simplicity of serial-data computation promises designers rapid access to powerful systems solutions in the field of real-time, fixed-function numerical computation, e.g. digital signal processing. This text builds on work previously carried out at the University of Edinburgh in design automation using bit-serial architectures. The subject matter spans the complete design space from systems down to silicon, as well as issues of software for automation of the design process. As a result of this, some of the treatment (particularly at the silicon end) is necessarily shallow. On the other hand, the areas of serial-data arithmetic theory and architecture are covered in some depth.
