Approaches toward silicon compilation

“…Silicon compilation of data paths from high-level languages is discussed in [35], [36], and [41]. Even modern programming lan guages, such as Ada, have been considered as silicon compilation languages [29], [39].…”

“…However, decades of research have not yet produced general-purpose automatic programming systems. Examples of behavioral silicon compilers are the automatic data-path synthesis system described in [41], which uses ISPS as an input language, and the Ada* silicon compiler [29], [39], which is under study at the University of Utah.…”
