Reconfigurable computing is becoming increasingly attractive for many applications. This
survey covers two aspects of reconfigurable computing: architectures and design methods …

An automated static approach for optimizing bit widths of fixed-point feedforward designs
with guaranteed accuracy, called MiniBit, is presented. Methods to minimize both the integer …

This paper presents an approach to the wordlength allocation and optimization problem for
linear digital signal processing systems implemented as custom parallel processing units …

This paper presents a method that offers a uniform treatment for bit-width optimisation of
both fixed-point and floating-point designs. Our work utilises automatic differentiation to …

Automatic bitwidth analysis is a key ingredient for highlevel programming of FPGAs and high-
level synthesis of VLSI circuits. The objective is to find the minimal number of bits to …

Translating digital signal processing (DSP) software into its finite-precision hardware
implementation is often a time-consuming task. We describe a new static analysis technique …

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are experiencing a growing importance recently.
Whereas WLANs were primarily used for niche applications in the past, they are now …

This paper presents a comparison of word length determination procedures. It is realized
using an automated testbed that exploits a C/C++ fixed-point simulation utility to model the …

Synthesis and Optimization of DSP Algorithms describes approaches taken to synthesising
structural hardware descriptions of digital circuits from high-level descriptions of Digital …

This paper introduces a design tool and its associated procedures for determining the
sensitivity of outputs in a digital signal processing design to small errors introduced by …
