Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012050678A1] A method and apparatus for using entropy in ant colony optimization circuit design from high level synthesis is described. In one example, an operation to be performed by a circuit is selected. A plurality of hardware components for performing the operation are represented with a data flow graph having edges and nodes. A plurality of solutions for performing the operation are simulated as hardware component combinations represented as paths on the data flow graph. For each solution the cost including a number of edges and nodes traversed on the data flow graph and a supplemental sub-integer cost is determined and a solution is selected with the lowest cost as a hardware component combination for a circuit.
