of the Thesis A Study On The Impact Of Compiler Optimizations On High-Level Synthesis

Yorùbá being a tone language requires tone information for the correct pronunciation of words in Text-to-Speech synthesis. Based on standard Yorùbá orthography, such information is held in tone marks, which applied to vowels and syllabic nasals as diacritical markings. However, the tone marks are not always correctly applied in many Yorùbá documents because appropriate input devices for the acc...

The development and use of a high level synthesis system can be made more convenient when intermediate data can be investigated graphically. Using this graphical representation the designer/user can easily influence the design process or is able to ’tune’ his tools. Mostly a high level synthesis system and a graphical framework are two separate platforms. This article describes how both platfor...
