Abstract

A system and method for determining optimized scheduling intervals and optimized access conflicts and for determining an optimized memory organization of an essentially digital device. The system includes an optimizer for determining an optimized scheduling of the data access instructions for a plurality of disjunct code blocks, wherein each of the code blocks include part of the data access instructions. The system performs an iterative process of successively reducing the cycle budget for selected blocks and modifying the scheduling of the selected blocks until a cumulative cycle budget for all of the blocks is met.
