Techniques for Design Analysis and Modification Based on ASAP Model: Work-in-Progress

Abstract

In the domain of model-based design, the main challenge is to provide a model with a set of conditions and algorithms to ensure that the designed system produces correct results. A dataflow based model called Actors with Stretchable Access Patterns (ASAP) has been recently proposed, which takes the behavior of functional blocks on real architectures, especially FPGAs, into account. In this work, we present the framework of techniques to analyze the correctness of designs based on the ASAP model and to determine a set of modifications that must be applied to faulty cases to ensure the conformance of all actors. The principles are illustrated by a realistic application.
