Since limitation of data-input bandwidth caused by port constraints often has a negative impact on pipeline scheduling results, we propose a priority assignment method of input data which enables efficient arithmetic pipeline scheduling under given input port constraints. Evaluation results with frequently used rate-law functions in biochemical models revealed that the proposed method achieved shorter latency compared to ASAP and ALAP scheduling with random input orders, reducing hardware costs by 17.57% and by 27.43% on average, respectively., The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 5453, pp.368-373; 2009}, pages = {368--373}, title = {Pipeline scheduling with input port constraints for an FPGA-based biochemical simulator}, volume = {5453}, year = {2009} }
