  • Method of transforming software language constructs to functional hardware equivalents
    Patent number: 7143388
    Abstract: A method of designing an integrated circuit using a general purpose programming language can include identifying a number of instances of each class allocated in a programmatic design implemented using the general purpose programming language and modeling the global memory of the programmatic design. A data flow between the modeled global memory and instructions of the programmatic design which access object fields can be determined and access to the modeled global memory can be scheduled. The programmatic design can be translated into a hardware description of the integrated circuit using the modeled global memory, the data flow, and the scheduled memory access.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of transforming software language constructs to functional hardware equivalents
    Patent number: 6877150
    Abstract: A method of designing an integrated circuit using a general purpose programming language can include identifying (105) a number of instances of each class allocated in a programmatic design implemented using the general purpose programming language and modeling (110) the global memory of the programmatic design. A data flow between the modeled global memory and instructions of the programmatic design which access object fields can be determined (115) and access to the modeled global memory can be scheduled (120). The programmatic design can be translated (125) into a hardware description of the integrated circuit using the modeled global memory, the data flow, and the scheduled memory access.
