High-Level Synthesis: Applications

A new book covering applications of HLS has just been published. The book can be downloaded for free from www.hlsbook.com and a hardcopy can be purchased through the Amazon book store here.

The book contains 8 chapters as follows:

  1. Chapter: VLSI design overview.
  2. HLS: One description, infinite implementations.
  3. Low power design in High-Level Synthesis
  4. Temperature control in HLS: Is it even possible?
  5. Hardware security.
  6. Fault Tolerance.
  7. Modernizing Legacy Hardware design through HLS.
  8. Wrapping up.

Enjoy it!

GLSVLSI Best Paper Award

We won the best paper award at the 2022 ACM ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI [GLSVLSI’22].

Md Imtiaz Rashid and B. Carrion Schafer, Fast Parallel High-Level Synthesis Design Space Explorer: Targeting FPGAs to accelerate ASIC Exploration

The paper basically covers how to quickly find the Pareto-optimal designs for a given ASIC technology, but using free FPGA HLS tools and then use machine learning to convert those results into ASIC equivalent.
