Title
Bambu: A Modular Framework For The High Level Synthesis Of Memory-Intensive Applications
Abstract
This paper presents bambu, a modular framework for research on high-level synthesis currently under development at Politecnico di Milano. It can accept most of C constructs without requiring any three-state for their implementations by exploiting a novel and efficient memory architecture. It also allows the integration of floating-point units and thus it can deal with a wide range of data types. Finally, it allows to easily customize the synthesis flow (e. g., transformation passes, constraints, options, synthesis scripts) through an XML file and it automatically generates test-benches and validates the results against the corresponding software execution, supporting both ASIC and FPGA technologies.
