Abstract: This work presents a method based on Petri for estimating the number of register needed for hardware implementation of behavioral descriptions. The proposed method considers the data-dependency graph represented by a Petri net model. Such model along with the control flow, also represented by a Petri net model, describe behavioral specifications. This work is inserted in the context of hardware/software co-design systems.
