Automatic creation of domain-specific reconfigurable CPLDs for SoC

Reconfigurable logic fills a useful niche between the flexibility provided by a processor and the performance provided by custom hardware. This work presents the creation of domain-specific CPLD architectures, a project termed Totem-CPLD (part of the larger Totem project at UW). For the scope of this work, a CPLD is a collection of PLAs connected by a full crossbar, and they are made "domain-specific" by altering the input, product term, and output capacities of the PLAs in the architecture.
