Silicon C: A Hardware Backend for SUIF
نویسنده
چکیده
High-level languages have much to offer the hardware designer. Freed of the tyranny of gates, it is possible to approach circuit function in terms of the algorithm or protocol it implements. Design rule checking and gate-level optimizations are becoming impossible for large designs without computer assistance anyway, the argument goes, so why not delegate all low-level design and synthesis to the machine, and free the humans to work on the high-level tasks the machine is incapable of?

Global Instruction Scheduling In Machine SUIF
Machine SUIF is a retargetable compiler backend designed by the HUBE research group at Harvard University. It extends the SUIF compilation system for machine-specific compilation and optimization. In this paper, we present one such optimization phase, global instruction scheduling for acyclic graphs. In a single scheduling framework, we are implementing both trace-based and DAG-based scheduling...
متن کاملA SUIF Java Compiler
To compete with optimized C, object-oriented languages need classical optimizations as well as speci c object-oriented optimizations. Therefore, a compiler infrastructure that enables object-oriented compiler research is of great interest for the research community. The SUIF compiler system with the OSUIF extension o ers such a research environment. SUIF de nes an intermediate representation fo...
متن کاملSynthesis of hardware models in C with pointers and complex data structures
One of the greatest challenges in a C/C++-based design methodology is efficiently mapping C/C++ models into hardware. Many networking and multimedia applications implemented in hardware or mixed hardware/software systems now use complex data structures stored in multiple memories, so many C/C++ features that were originally designed for software applications are now making their way into hardwa...
متن کاملParallelizing Applications into Silicon
The next decade of computing will be dominated by embedded systems, information appliances and application-speci c computers. In order to build these systems, designers will need high-level compilation and CAD tools that generate architectures that e ectively meet the needs of each application. In this paper we present a novel compilation system that allows sequential programs, written in C or ...
متن کاملA Vectorizing SUIF Compiler
With advances in VLSI technology, it is now possible to implement vector processors on a single chip. Vector architectures are ideal for providing the cost-effective, real-time performance demanded by graphicintensive applications such as MPEG players and video conferencing software. However, these vector microprocessors lack compilers and instead rely on libraries of hand-written assembly func...
