Conclusions and Future Work

Summary

In summary, we proposed a solution that improves the state of the art by bringing a new range of code transformations to high-level synthesis. The Spark framework is a prototype that demonstrates that this technology can be successfully used to produce a high quality of results. We believe that our parallelizing high-level synthesis methodology can bring about an order of magnitude improvement in designer productivity by raising the level of abstraction in the microelectronic design process. Thus, our approach represents an important and big step in tackling the growing size and complexity of microelectronic systems.
