Highlevel synthesis automates hardware generation from "summary" of System Design by Andreas Gerstlauer,Rainer Dömer,Junyu Peng,Daniel D. Gajski

High-level synthesis is a process that involves automatically transforming a high-level description of a digital system into an equivalent hardware implementation. It is a powerful tool that can significantly reduce the time and effort required to design complex hardware systems. By using high-level synthesis, designers can focus on specifying the desired functionality of the system in a high-level language, rather than dealing with the details of the hardware implementation. One of the key benefits of high-level synthesis is that it automates many of the tedious and error-prone tasks involved in hardware design. For example, high-level synthesis tools can automatically generate the low-level hardware components needed to implement a given functionality, such as arithmetic units, memory controllers, and interconnects. This automation can save designers a significant amount of time and effort, allowing them to focus on more important aspects of the design. Another advantage of high-level synthesis is that it allows designers to explore different design alternatives quickly and easily. By simply changing the high-level description of the system, designers can generate multiple hardware implementations and evaluate their performance, area, and power characteristics. This rapid exploration of design space can help designers make more informed decisions and optimize their designs for the desired metrics. High-level synthesis also enables designers to easily retarget their designs to different hardware platforms. By changing the target platform parameters in the high-level synthesis tool, designers can generate hardware implementations that are optimized for specific constraints, such as area, power, or performance. This flexibility allows designers to quickly adapt their designs to meet changing requirements or target different application domains.
  1. High-level synthesis is a powerful technology that can greatly simplify the process of hardware design. By automating many of the tedious tasks involved in hardware generation, high-level synthesis allows designers to focus on specifying the desired functionality of the system and exploring different design alternatives. This automation and flexibility make high-level synthesis an invaluable tool for designing complex hardware systems efficiently and effectively.
