Abstract:Increasing system complexity and heterogeneity make system integration and communication synthesis a growing concern. Even with transaction-level modeling and high-level synthesis of hardware, communication interfaces still have to be manually designed at a low protocol level. To address this challenge, we present a design flow for automatic synthesis of hardware transactors, which realize abstractly specified communication semantics on top of protocol-level transactions. Transactor synthesis is tightly couple… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
