title = "Register allocation for design of data format converters",
abstract = "The authors use life time analysis and propose systematic register allocation techniques to reuse the registers; register reuse leads to data format converter architectures with fewer registers. A simple forward-circulate allocation scheme is proposed to motivate the use of register allocation, and a more efficient forward-backward register allocation scheme is proposed. Examples of data converters presented include matrix transposer, serial-to-parallel, and parallel-to-serial converters. General m-to-n bit-parallel and bit-serial converters are also studied. It is shown that register allocation techniques can lead to up to 50% savings in hardware area, as compared with converter architectures designed in a straightforward manner.",
