NSF-ESPRIT Co-Operative Activity: High Level Synthesis Techniques for VLSI

拉巴伊 近年来，高级综合取得了显著的进展。在欧洲和美国，在真实的时间信号处理领域已经提出了许多强大的合成环境。不幸的是，大多数现有的工具只跨有限的应用程序域或非常特定的体系结构风格。为了在工业一级取得成功，显然必须统一各种综合办法。 这项研究的目标是通过汇集来自比利时鲁汶IMEC研究中心和加州大学伯克利分校的研究人员，推动数字信号处理的高级合成领域。其目标是交流综合技术和工具，试图达到一个统一的框架，解决全球建筑领域。与此同时，这种合作将导致在高层次综合领域具有更广泛的视野和专业知识范围的研究人员的培训。

Rabaey High Level Synthesis has undergone remarkable progress in recent years. A number of powerful synthesis environments have been proposed in the area of real time signal processing, both in Europe and the United States. Unfortunately, most of the existing tools span only restricted application domains or very specific architectural styles. To be successful at an industrial level, a unification of the synthesis approaches is clearly essential. The goal of this research is to boost the field of high-level synthesis for digital signal processing by bringing together researchers from the IMEC Research Center at Leuven, Belgium and the University of California at Berkeley. The objectives are to exchange synthesis techniques and tools in an attempt to come to a unified framework, addressing the global architectural domain. At the same time, this cooperation will result in the training of researchers with a wider vision and scope of expertise in the field of high level synthesis.
