Optimal ILP-based Approach for Throughput Optimization Using Simultaneous Algorithm/Architecture Matching and Retiming

System level design and behavior transformations have been rapidly establishing themselves as design steps with the most inuential impact on final performance metrics, throughput and latency, of a design. In this paper we develop a formal ILP-based approach for throughput and latency optimization when algorithm-architecture matching, retiming, and pipelining are considered simultaneously. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated on several real-life examples.
