Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for generating programmable logic for a hardware accelerator, the method comprising: generating a graph of nodes representing the programmable logic to be implemented in hardware; identifying nodes within the graph that affect external flow control of the programmable logic; retaining the identified nodes and removing or replacing all nodes which do not affect external flow control of the programmable logic in a modified graph; and simulating the modified graph or building a corresponding circuit of the retained nodes.
