Binding

The data path describes a register transfer level design analogous to a schematic diagram. The data path is described in terms of modules and their interconnections.

Datapath: The datapath ( ) is a graph where

• a set , whose elements, called modules, are the nodes of the graph, with
  • a set of operational modules like adders, multipliers and ALUs (see Module binding),
  • a set of storage modules like registers and register files (see Register allocation),
  • a set of interconnection modules like multiplexers, demultiplexers busses and bus drivers (see src_HLS_datapath_connection_binding_page);
• an interconnection relation , whose elements are interconnection links. These are the edges of the datapath graph.
