Information analysis in High-level synthesis

Abstract

This report analyses fundamental design representations that are used in High-Level behavior, register transfer level structure and related floorplan design domains. Different views like structural models, data flow and control representations are described, based on the graphical form of the data description language EXPRESS.

It was found that the Design Representation model of the CFI, Inc. can be used to describe both, component nets of structure representations and variable nets of data representations. For the modeling of structured control flow a minimized model has been archived.
