Abstract

In addition to high performance requirements, future generation mobile telecommunications brings new constraints to the semiconductor design world. In order to associate the flexibility to the highperformances and the low-energy consumption needed by this application domain we have developed a functional level dynamically reconfigurable architecture, DART. Even if this architecture supports the processing complexity of the UMTS while allowing the portability of the devices and their evolutions, another challenge is to develop efficient high-level design tools. In this paper, we discuss about a methodology allowing the definition of such development tool based on the joint used of compilation and behavioral synthesis schemes.
