Optimal Register Sharing for High-Level Synthesis of SSA Form Programs Conference Paper

abstract

• Register sharing for high-level synthesis of programs represented in static single assignment (SSA) form is proven to have a polynomial-time solution. Register sharing is modeled as a graph-coloring problem. Although graph coloring is NP-Complete in the general case, an interference graph constructed for a program in SSA form probably belongs to the class of chordal graphs that have an optimal O(|V| + E) time algorithm. Chordal graph coloring reduces the number of registers allocated to the program by as much as 86 % and 64.93 % on average compared to linear scan register allocation. 2006 IEEE.
