Abstract
High level synthesis refers to the process of synthesizing the hardwar e of a digital system from a high level description. This paper presen ts an integrated system which accepts as input a purely behavioral des cription expressed in the ''bc'' language and transforms it into hardw are (IC layout). The bc description is first transformed into a stack representation which is used to generate an optimized RTL description in the AHPL language. The AHPL description is finally synthesized into hardware.
