ABSTRACT = {This paper presents a simulated-annealing based algorithm to partition an application specific system into a set of modules. The role of partitioning is to discover the structure implicit in the functional specification of the system so as to guide high level synthesis decisions in a design environment for digital systems consisting of hardware parts and possibly software components. The partitioning algorithm can also be used to partition the final or intermediate results of a high-level synthesis process into several physical blocks. Experimental results show that our approach produces better register-transfer designs with less global communications.},
