...For slightly more general problems in the context of reconfigurable computing (which are still simpler than MAP), consider [2], [7], [12], [19]–[21], [26], and [1] for a relatively recent survey of optimization methods in reconfigurable computing....

...Hence, the hardware IPs (PR modules) implemented on a same reconfigurable region must have a common wrapper....
[...]
...These wrappers are defined by the inputs and outputs ports of hardware IPs to implement....
[...]
...Existing methods have shown their effectiveness in the case of simple data flow graphs (DFG), but remain ineffective and almost impossible to implement complex hardware IPs....
