This paper proposes a method which combines common terms in rate law functions appeared in biochemical models and generates a shared hardware module used for numerical integration. In this approach, two functions are combined in a tree structure level, followed by pipeline scheduling and arithmetic module binding. The evaluation result reveals that this approach reduces hardware resources by 31.4 % on average at the cost of 14.4 % throughput degradation., 2007 International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications : Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2007.08.27-2007.08.29, International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications 2007, pp.808-811}, pages = {808--811}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers}, title = {A COMBINING TECHNIQUE OF RATE LAW FUNCTIONS FOR A COST-EFFECTIVE RECONFIGURABLE BIOLOGICAL SIMULATOR}, year = {2007} }
