HIGH-LEVEL SYNTHESIS FROM PURELY BEHAVIORAL DESCRIPTIONS

This paper presents an integrated system which accepts as input a pure ly behavioral description expressed in a subset of the C language and transforms it into RTL description in the AHPL language. The novelty o f this work is the introduction of a new stack intermediate form, and the use of hardware-specific optimization during the scheduling phase. This idea has produced sizable decrease in the number of control step s compared to other reported techniques.
