Highlevel Synthesis Blue Book,Used

Are you an RTL or system designer that is currently using, moving, or planning to move to an HLS design environment?Finally, a comprehensive guide for designing hardware using C++ is here. Michael Fingeroff's HighLevel Synthesis Blue Book presents the most effective C++ synthesis coding style for achieving high quality RTL. Master a totally new design methodology for coding increasingly complex designs!This book provides a stepbystep approach to using C++ as a hardware design language, including an introduction to the basics of HLS using concepts familiar to RTL designers. Each chapter provides easytounderstand C++ examples, along with hardware and timing diagrams where appropriate.The book progresses from simple concepts such as sequential logic design to more complicated topics such as memory architecture and hierarchical subsystem design. Later chapters bring together many of the earlier HLS design concepts through their application in simplified design examples. These examples illustrate the fundamental principles behind C++ hardware design, which will translate to much larger designs. Although this book focuses primarily on C and C++ to present the basics of C++ synthesis, all of the concepts are equally applicable to SystemC when describing the core algorithmic part of a design.On completion of this book, readers should be well on their way to becoming experts in highlevel synthesis.
