A front - end for better behavioral synthesis

By allowing higher-level descriptions, behavioral synthesis helps to cope with the growing chips' complexity. However, its efficiency has never met the one of RTL synthesis. Our goal is to define a flow that can automatically convert such high-level specifications to ones that can be efficiently handled by synthesis tools. This flow can be seen as a frontend for those tools.
