Abstract
In this paper we propose two optimization techniques for resource modelling in software pipelining. The first technique is the extension of our grouping technique to reduce the space overhead in automaton based software pipelining methods. This technique exploits the symmetry in the states of the automaton to produce the Group Automaton (GA) with reduced number of states. Our second technique is the Conjugate Offset method which eliminates the “symmetric” offset sets from the set of offset sets produced by the Reduce MS-State Diagram approach. Our experimental results reveal that the proposed optimizations result in significant reduction in the space requirements.
