DIADES-a high level synthesis system
Marek A. Perkowski, Dan Smith, Michael A. Driscoll, J. Liu, Jessica E. Brown · 2003
The DIADES design automation system is presented. DIADES performs system- and high-level synthesis of digital systems, as well as logic synthesis. It synthesizes a structural hardware description. The need for advances in synthesis and some basic design methodologies are discussed. An overview of DIADES is given with brief explanations of the various parts of the system. The authors discuss the behavior description language and emphasize its ability to describe different kinds of parallelism and to describe digital systems on different levels. Some results are given for a short example with two types of parallelism.>
