High-level Synthesis, 5 cr
Show
After the course, the student can implement digital systems using C/C++
based high-level synthesis (HLS). The student understands the whole HLS
design flow from specification to implementation on FPGA. He/she can
write the source code for the design, the test bench for it, and apply
various optimizations with the HLS tool. The student will also
understand the capabilities and limitations of HLS with respect to
traditional RTL design flow.
Core content
- Fundamentals of high-level synthesis
- Scheduling of IO and memories
- Sequential and combinational hardware
- Memory architecture
- Hierarchical design
- Example designs
Complementary knowledge
- General coding style, bit-accurate data types, pipelining, unrolling
- Unconditional/conditional IO
- Shift registers, multiplexors, shifters, accumulators, adder trees, lookup tables
- Memory organization, caching
- Sharing arrays, sharing control variables, reconvergence, channels, arbitration, feedback
- FIR filter, FFT examples
