The MOODS Behavioural Synthesis System
Andrew D. Brown, Adam Williams · ePrints Soton (University of Southampton) · 2000
MOODS (Multiple Objective Optimisation in control and Datapath Synthesis) is a behavioural synthesis system developed at the University of Southampton over the last fifteen years. Four out of five of the technical contributions for this session are about MOODS, and so this paper provides a common introduction to do away with unnecessary duplication. This written paper is in two parts; the first supplying an overview to the MOODS system, and providing necessary technical background for the system, and the second (shown as MOODS, The Future in the technical programme) describes the next phase of development of the suite, and provides pointers for the capabilities that we hope to realise in the forthcoming few years.
