Abstract
A method of high level circuit design synthesis using transformations based upon the addition of deflection operations reduces the interconnects and register requirements as well as the area requirements of a circuit design while preserving throughput without increasing the number of execution units needed. The method may also be applied to reduce the partial scan overhead for generating testable datapaths. The overall result of the transformations is to improve resource utilization and/or testability of circuits so designed.
