C gt Handel-C gt Technology Mapping/1

• Transform a serial specification into a
  combination of
• Control, Serial, Parallel and Pipelined Units gt
  CDFG
• That satify the design constraints Area, Time
  Power

C gt Handel-C gt Technology Mapping/2

• Levels of abstraction
• Handel-C ???
• Known computational model FSMD
• Technology Combinatorial Sequential Network
• i.e. Network of gates flip-flops
• Rugby domains for each level
• Available/obtainable
• Function/structure/timing/data

C gt Handel-C gt Technology Mapping/2

• Design Methodology
• DT Architecture proposition
• Handel-C Architecture description synthesis
• Technology Mapping XILINX Design Tools
• Options
• Modify Handel-C code untill specs are OK
• Let Handel-C code express the designed
  architecture
