This paper presents the design of a performance-driven interconnect allocation algorithm. The proposed algorithm is based on the idea that the data transfer time can be reduced by balancing the load for specific hardware modules on possible critical path, such that the clock period can be minimized. By performing load balancing for only the communication lines on critical paths, the proposed algorithm generates interconnection structures with minimum delays. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm by constructing the interconnection structures with minimized clock periods for several benchmark circuits available from the literature.
