Much attention has been directed to different aspects of the design of pipelines [1,2,3,4]. Design of the control logic of non-linear pipelines has however, been considered as a subsidiary issue in that an RTL description for such logic can easily be obtained from a behavioral description, with the use of widely available synthesis tools. But, as the complexity of a non-linear pipeline increases, so does the complexity of the control logic. The complexity may be to an extent that obtaining even a behavioral description for the control logic is rendered difficult. This paper focuses on further automating the development of systems consisting of non-linear or multi-function pipelines by proposing an algorithmic technique for obtaining a behavioral description for the control logic of such pipelines. A simplified C++ implementation that produces a VHDL description of the control logic is then presented to clarify the algorithm.Experimental results that reveal connections between the nature of pipeline functions and the complexity of the control logic, obtained by utilization of the algorithm, are also presented. Consideration of these results can reduce the design space exploration of such pipelines to a more practically feasible subspace.
