	abstract = {In this paper, we present a technique for compact representation of execution sequences in terms of efficient looping constructs. Here, by a looping construct, we mean a compact way of specifying a finite repetition of a set of execution primitives. Such compaction, which can be viewed as a form of hierarchical run-length encoding (RLE), has application in many very large scale integration (VLSI) signal processing contexts, including efficient control generation for Kahn processes on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and software synthesis for static dataflow models of computation. In this paper, we significantly generalize previous models for loop-based code compaction of digital signal processing (DSP) programs to yield a configurable code compression methodology that exhibits a broad range of achievable tradeoffs. Specifically, we formally develop and apply to DSP hardware and software synthesis a parameterizable loop scheduling approach with compact format, dynamic reconfigurability, and low-overhead decompression},
