Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) With recent process scaling in FPGAs, interconnection delays and clock skews have a large impact on the latency of a circuit and then may degrade operation frequency.
We must consider interconnection delays and clock skews in floorplan-aware FPGA-HLS flow to design circuits having small latency.
In this paper, we propose a floorplan-aware high-level synthesis algorithm for FPGA designs optimizing operation frequency of a circuit by improving interconnection delays and clock skews on the critical-path.
Our target architecture is HDR, one of distributed-register architectures, and then we can consider module floorplan easily.
Based on it, we estimate the delay of each signal path including interconnection delays and clock-skews, and identify the critical-path.
To optimize them, we propose a novel scheduling/FU binding method and a novel floorplanning method.
Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm can realize FPGA designs which reduce the latency by up to 24% compared with conventional approaches.
