High-level synthesis: Current status and future prospects (Q1901492)

This paper presents a survey on the state-of-the-art of current high-level synthesis research and applications. Besides basic knowledge, a comprehensive overview has been conducted among the various theories, methods, algorithms, and applications of the existing [for 12 systems from 41 given in \textit{R. Compasano} and \textit{W. Wolf} (eds.), High-level VLSI Synthesis, Kluwer (1991; Zbl 0754.68004)] systems. Their advantages, limitations, and feasibilities re described. Finally, some points on current status and future directions of high-level synthesis are addressed. The bibliography contains 135 references (note that the items 127 and 128 are used in text, but missing in the reference list).
