Proliferation ofmutually exclusive applications on circuits and the higher cost of silicon make the resource sharing more and more\nimportant.Thestate-of-the-art synthesis toolsmay often be unsatisfactory. Their efficiencymay depend on the hardware description\nstyle.Nevertheless, today, different applications in a circuit can be developed by different developers. This paper proposes an efficient\nmethod to improve resource sharing between mutually exclusive applications with no dependence on the coding style. It takes the\nadvantage of the possibility of resource sharing as done in FPGA and of predefined multiple functions as in ASIC.
