A mathematical model is presented for predicting the area-time tradeoff curve for nonpipelined data paths given a data-flow graph and a module set. Specifically, it examines operator cost and delay to predict the lower bound noninferior area-time curve. The model has been validated against designs generated by a program which synthesizes nonpipelined data paths. >
