Translating Timing into an Architecture: The Synergy of COTSon and HLS (Domain Expertise—Designing a Computer Architecture via HLS)

Figure 2

Differences between classical and proposed architecture modelling frameworks. Workflows to generate VHDL/Verilog hardware description language from the application specification written in C/C++. On the left, a typical workflow of existing HLS tools. On the right, we leverage the HLS tool, and on top of it, we build our framework to simulate and validate the design specification.
