High Level Synthesis: from Algorithm to Digital Circuit- P13 ppt

... microprocessors. The automatic synthesis support of high- level programming languages (such as C, C++, and FORTRAN) is paramount important to allow the software designs to develop algorithms and implement ... FIFOs or object FIFOs to form a block -level pipeline. In our experiments, the same system -level architecture is used, while each submodule is synthesized by AutoPilot system...

... chapter presents GAUT, an academic and open-source high- level synthesis tool dedicated to digital signal processing applications. Starting from an algorithmic bit-accurate specification written in ... cores will need new ESL design tools in order to raise the specification abstraction level up to the “algorithmic one”. Algorithmic descriptions enable an IC designer to focus on...
