Abstract
We consider the resource-constrained scheduling of loops with
interiteration dependencies. A loop is modeled as a data flow graph
(DFG), where edges are labeled with the number of iterations between
dependencies. We design a novel and flexible technique, called rotation
scheduling, for scheduling cyclic DFGs using loop pipelining. The
rotation technique repeatedly transforms a schedule to a more compact
schedule. We provide a theoretical basis for the operations based on
retiming. We propose two heuristics to perform rotation scheduling and
give experimental results showing that they have very good performance
