A propos de cet article

No dust jacket. Name from previous owner on FEP. There is wear around edges and corners of covers, including softening and in some places some fraying, this is quite minimal and apart from some some dirty marks binding is very well preserved. The first inner manuscript cluster feels slightly loose where it connects to binding but is not at all disconnected. Pages are clean and crisp, and printing is tight, clean and bright throughout. MB.

Synopsis

The time has come for high-level synthesis. When research into synthesizing hardware from abstract, program-like de- scriptions started in the early 1970' s, there was no automated path from the register- transfer design produced by high-level synthesis to a complete hardware imple- mentation. As a result, it was very difficult to measure the effectiveness of high- level synthesis methods; it was also hard to justify to users the need to automate architecture design when low-level design had to be completed manually. Today's more mature CAD techniques help close the gap between an automat- ically synthesized design and a manufacturable design. Market pressures encour- age designers to make use of any and all automated tools. Layout synthesis, logic synthesis, and specialized datapath generators make it feasible to quickly imple- ment a register-transfer design in silicon, leaving designers more time to consider architectural improvements. As IC design becomes more automated, customers are increasing their demands; today's leading edge designers using logic synthesis systems are training themselves to be tomorrow's consumers of high-level synthe- sis systems. The need for very fast turnaround, a competitive fabrication market WhlCh makes small-quantity ASIC manufacturing possible, and the ever growing co: n- plexity of the systems being designed, all make higher-level design automaton inevitable.
