A VHDL synthesis framework
R.A. Baldwin, Sea Hawon Choi, Moon Jung Chung · 1994
We present a high level synthesis framework which guides the designer in devising design methodologies. The framework supports backtracking and parallel exploration of alternative methodologies. Encoded knowledge assists the designer in selecting methodologies and tools, while designers retain control during synthesis process. The framework facilitates maintainability and extendibility as new tools and methodologies are developed.>
