Then we deal with the multiport memory allocation problem simultaneously minimizing the cost of multiplexers and tri-state buffers. From the solution quality and execution time of the experimental results, we see that our method is suitable for solving data path allocation problem using multiport memories when the cost of interconnections is first considered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":140999,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems - ISCAS '94","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130430314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed algorithm is faster than previously proposed radix 4 and radix 2 division algorithms, which require at least four digits of the partial remainder to be observed to determine a quotient digit.

The hardware system comprises heterogeneous processors which are specialized for performing a predefined set of functions. The focus of this research is to solve the communication problems associated with the interconnection of the heterogeneous building blocks to implement application-specific systems. An interface control unit (ICU) architecture is proposed that allows the interconnection of processors with varying speeds and functionalities. A protocol has been developed that facilitates transfer of large data blocks in sparse networks. The hardware design and implementation of the ICU is based on this protocol.
