Research Initiation: High-Level Digital Design Synthesis

在最初的研究中，庞格尔博士发现了更强大的模型和新的见解，可以作为高级综合系统的基础。他的目标是开发一个设计自动化系统，该系统将根据用户的行为描述和设计级约束来综合优化设计。本研究涉及高级数字设计综合中的两个问题：行为描述语言和设计生成。他的组件模型就像一条统一的线，将自下而上地影响整个系统的开发。对行为描述语言及其编译器的研究在构件模型的基础上引入了一种新的流图模型。设计生成器的研究包括开发新的算法，用于在流图中分配操作，以及用于将组件绑定到流图的连通性绑定器。

In his initial research, Dr. Pangrle found more powerful models and new insights upon which to base a high-level synthesis system. His goal is to develop a design automation system which will synthesize optimized designs based on the user's behavioral description and design level constraints. This research concerns two issues in high-level digital design synthesis: behavioral description languages and design generation. His component model serves as a unifying thread that will influence the development of the entire system from the bottom up. Research on the behavioral description language and its compiler incorporates a new flow-graph model based on the component model. Research on the design generator involves development of new algorithms for allocation of operations in the flow-graph, and for a connectivity binder that binds components to the flow-graph.
