Irrational exuberance is running rampant. Design managers believe all their systems engineers and software programmers are going to be able to drive the hardware design process from a high-level ...

High-Level Synthesis (HLS) has emerged as a pivotal technology in the transformation of algorithmic descriptions into efficient hardware designs. Coupled with Design Space Exploration (DSE), HLS ...

IP reuse has reduced the urgency for a higher level of abstraction in complex system-level design, but that still could change. Chip designers have been constantly searching for a hardware description ...
