Infineon & Coseda: Facelifting a SystemC System Level Model Towards Physical Prototype – Adoption of High-Level-Synthesis
Towards Physical Prototype
Infineon & Coseda present on the adoption of High-Level-Synthesis at an existing SystemC system level model. Discussing the use-case of using HLS for fast prototyping of a purely hardware signal path model, with focus on the required adaptations since the model was initially developed without having HLS in mind. Furthermore the audience will understand the required refinement steps (e.g. quantization, handshake between modules, applying required constraints) needed to synthesize the optimized RTL. In conclusion they will present the ease of use and the value of the HLS methodology in an industrial project.
