We survey recent developments in high level synthesis technology for VLSI design. The
need for higher-level design automation tools are discussed first. We then describe some …

This authoritative handbook reveals the connections between bioinspired techniques and
the development of solutions to problems that arise in diverse problem domains. It provides …

One of the key problems in hardware/software codesign is hardware/software partitioning.
This paper describes a new approach to hardware/software partitioning using integer …

The building blocks of today's and future embedded systems are complex intellectual
property components, or cores, many of which are programmable processors. Traditionally …

Program-in chip-out (PICO) is a system for automatically synthesizing embedded hardware
accelerators from loop nests specified in the C programming language. A key issue …

This paper introduces a new approach to performance-driven template map** for high-
level synthesis. Template map**, the process of map** high-level algorithmic …

Synthesis and Optimization of DSP Algorithms describes approaches taken to synthesising
structural hardware descriptions of digital circuits from high-level descriptions of Digital …

DSP algorithms are, in most cases, subject to hard real-time constraints. In the case of
programmable DSPs, meeting those constraints must be ensured by appropriate code …

We develop a 0-1 non-linear programming (NLP) model for combined temporal partitioning
and high-level synthesis from behavioral specifications destined to be implemented on …
