AB  - The synthesis and mapping of applications to configurable embedded systems is a notoriously hard process. Tools have a wide range of parameters, which interact in very unpredictable ways, thus creating a large and complex design space. When exploring this space, designers must understand the interfaces to the various tools and apply, often manually, a sequence of tool-specific transformations making this an extremely cumbersome and error-prone process. This paper describes the use of aspect-oriented techniques for capturing synthesis strategies for tuning the performance of applications' kernels. We illustrate the use of this approach when designing application-specific architectures generated by a high-level synthesis tool. The results highlight the impact of the various strategies when targeting custom hardware and expose the difficulties in devising these strategies. © 2012 IEEE.
