  • High-level synthesis (HLS) method and apparatus to specify parallelism in computer hardware
    Patent number: 11816406
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for synthesizing a digital circuit is disclosed. The method includes receiving a multi-threaded software program with at least one C++ thread; generating a register-transfer level (RTL) hardware description of the at least one C++ thread; and automatically inferring generation of parallel hardware RTL in response to receiving the at least one C++ thread.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignee: MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC.
    Inventors: Jongsok Choi, Ruolong Lian, Andrew Christopher Canis, Jason Helge Anderson, Muhammad R. Soliman

  • High-level synthesis (HLS) method and apparatus to specify pipeline and spatial parallelism in computer hardware
    Patent number: 11055456
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for synthesizing a digital circuit is disclosed. The method includes receiving producer instructions defining a producer processing thread; generating a producer register-transfer level (RTL) description of the producer processing thread; receiving consumer instructions defining a consumer processing thread; generating a consumer RTL description of the consumer processing thread; and automatically inferring generation of streaming hardware RTL in response to receiving the producer and consumer instructions.
