About this title

Synopsis

The tremendous achievements in chip technology allow to produce chips with hundreds of millions of gates. At the same time, the design technology of such circuits has only slightly improved in the last ten years, especially at the highest system level. The traditional digital system design flow contains the manual creation of system description at the Register Transfer Level (hereafter RTL) with Verilog or VHDL code. The only possibility to reduce the gap between future technological capability and the lagging designer productivity is to raise the design from the current RTL to the algorithmic or behavior level, i.e. to High Level Synthesis (HLS). For that it is necessary to solve several problems:1. Develop models for describing systems at a high level;2. Develop tools based on these models;3. Develop a design methodology based on these models and tools.This book is about HLS. However, the models and methods presented in this book are fundamentally different from those used in the known industrial and academic instruments. In this book Algorithmic State Machines (hereafter ASMs) are used at all stages of high level and RTL designs. You will be very surprised, when you understand that it is possible to design very complex digital systems, beginning from ASMs.Most ideas from this book were realized in HLS tool 'Synthagate' – the product of Synthezza Inc. It is used to construct all the examples in this book. Synthagate is a tool for the design of Control and Data Path Intensive Systems with very complex Control Units containing numerous inputs and outputs. Synthagate performs full automatic synthesis of digital systems from behavior specification to description in HDL at RTL, and allows the user to quickly implement, check and estimate multiple design versions, to find an optimized solution for the design problems, to produce automatically the design documentation and to simplify the digital system verification problems.The main steps of HLS and RTL design:Functional Specifications – To design the behavior description of a digital system the designer doesn't have to define each port or signal. Synthagate automatically creates the functional specification.Behavior description of the design system – With Functional ASM and functional specification as an input, Synthagate automatically constructs the behavior (High Level) description of the whole design system in VHDL or in System C.Data path design – In Data path design Synthagate uses external specifications in XML that is constructed automatically.Automatic generation of components – Synthagate automatically generates VHDL codes for components of Data Path. If a designer would like to use predesigned IP cores, he must put their RTL codes in the special folder before the design at High level.Generation VHDL code for Data Path – At the last step of Data Path design Synthagate automatically instantiates components in the Data Path.Control Unit design – Synthagate automatically creates the RTL code of Control unit.Top design – At the last stage, Synthagate automatically creates the code for the top level by instantiating Control Unit and Data Path into the top of the project.This book can be useful for hardware designers and hardware engineers, undergraduate and graduate students of Computer engineering and Electrical engineering departments and their teachers. There are many examples in the main and Case study sections. Whole designs of these examples and many others can be found at Synthezza.com from the links of this book.You can look at this book as the second part of my previous book "Finite State Machines and Algorithmic State Machines", which is now available in paperback and ebook.

Right of cancellation

If you are a consumer you can cancel the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE RIGHT OF CANCELLATION

Statutory Right to cancel

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, glenthebookseller, 625 S Railroad St, Bldg 11, 60538, Montgomery, Illinois, U.S.A., +1 6308001491, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Effects of cancellation

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or glenthebookseller, PO BOX 4816, 60507, Aurora, Illinois, U.S.A., +1 6308001491, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

Exceptions to the right of cancellation

The right of cancellation does not apply to:

the delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not cancel it once delivery had started.
