In order to simulate large scale biological models with a reconfigurable FPGA-based biochemical simulator system, reduction of required resources is essential. This paper proposes a method which combines a common terms in rate law functions appeared in biochemical models to generate a shared hardware module used for numerical integration in a reconfigurable biochemical simulator. In this approach, two functions are combined in a tree structure level followed by pipeline scheduling and arithmetic module binding. The evaluation results reveals that this combining approach reduces hardware costs by 31.36 \% on average at the cost of 14.4 \% throughput degradation. |
