Abstract
This paper introduces our new hardware description language named Gropius1. Gropius covers all abstraction levels from the gate level to the system level. Design reuse and abstraction are supported in a systematic manner. Gropius was designed for a formal synthesis scenario, where synthesis is performed by applying mathematical derivation steps, thus guaranteeing correctness of the synthesis process. Since Gropius was defined in a mathematical manner, its semantics is precise and unambiguous. In the paper special attention is focused on the reuse concepts that are realized in Gropius.
