DIADES-a high level synthesis system

The paper presents a new approach to high-level synthesis system design in which object-oriented programming techniques are used to construct an expansible Hardware Description Language(HDL) analyzer. There are several major advantages of this new methodology over the traditional top-down approaches, The object-oriented data model for high-level synthesis systems is shown to be a better way to model the high-level synthesis design entities. A formal Object Oriented Programming(O0P model of high-level synthesis and systematic ways o f) expanding the system are also described. This design style influences the construction of the entire high-level synthesis system. The system has been successfully implemented an C++ and has proven to be reliable, expansible, and suficiently fast.

This paper presents a short description of the high level and logic synthesis stages in the digital design automation system DIADES. High level design, namely data path synthesis and control unit synthesis start han a peralkl program-graph, the form of descriplon that includes both the control-flow and the data-flow graph. While the data path is allocated and scheduled, the control unit is designed to be composed of either a microprogrammed units or Finite State Machines. The FSMs are minimized in two dimensions (states and inputs), assigned and realized in logic. Several logic synthesis procedures, respective to various design styles and methodologies, can be used to design combinational pans of state machines, microprogrammed units and data path logic.
