This paper proposes a function call optimization method in behavioral synthesis from large sequential programs with a number of functions. We formulate the optimization problem using integer linear programming. Our experimental results show the reduction in the circuit area by up to 44.6%, compared with a traditional method.}, pages = {2032--2036}, title = {Function Call Optimization for Efficient Behavioral Synthesis}, volume = {E90-A}, year = {2007} }
