“…The authors of [22] provided studies to compare the performance of three commercially available HLS tools: Vivado HLS [23], Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL [24], and MaxCompiler [12]. A comprehensive survey of commonly used open-source HLS tools appears in [25].…”

Heterogeneous computing systems with tightly coupled processors and reconfigurable logic blocks provide great scope to improve software performance by executing each section of code on the processor or custom hardware accelerator that best matches its requirements and the system optimisation goals. This paper is motivated by the idea of a software tool that can automatically accomplish the task of deploying code, originally written for a conventional computer, to the processors and reconfigurable logic blocks in a heterogeneous system. We undertake an extensive survey of high-level synthesis tools to determine how close we are to this vision, and to identify any capability gaps. The survey is structured according to a new framework that clearly expresses the relationships between the many tools surveyed. We find that none of the existing tools can deploy general high-level code without manual intervention. Logic synthesis from arbitrary high-level code remains an open problem with dynamic data structures, function pointers and recursion all presenting challenges. Other challenges include automating the tasks of code partitioning, optimisation and design space exploration.

“…The authors also show that open-source HLS tools such as LegUP [123] can be as effective as their commercial counterparts. Other surveys and analyses include [124], [97], [125], which focused on open-source tools, and [126], which studied some of the trade-offs of HLS-generated designs and how reliable they are when errors are injected. All of the studies above prove the feasibility and reliability of HLS tools to generate RTL codes, despite having different development and optimization solutions.…”

Software-defined Radio (SDR) is a programmable transceiver with the capability of operating various wireless communication protocols without the need to change or update the hardware. Progress in the SDR field has led to the escalation of protocol development and a wide spectrum of applications, with more emphasis on programmability, flexibility, portability, and energy efficiency, in cellular, WiFi, and M2M communication. Consequently, SDR has earned a lot of attention and is of great significance to both academia and industry. SDR designers intend to simplify the realization of communication protocols while enabling researchers to experiment with prototypes on deployed networks. This paper is a survey of the state-of-theart SDR platforms in the context of wireless communication protocols. We offer an overview of SDR architecture and its basic components, then discuss the significant design trends and development tools. In addition, we highlight key contrasts between SDR architectures with regards to energy, computing power, and area, based on a set of metrics. We also review existing SDR platforms and present an analytical comparison as a guide to developers. Finally, we recognize a few of the related research topics and summarize potential solutions.
