Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for performing power shut-off in a high-level synthesis flow. The methods and systems access a high level synthesis flow (HLS) file representing a circuit design. The methods and systems process the HLS file to identify a portion of the circuit design that is associated with power shut-off indicating that the portion of the circuit design is enabled for shut down. The methods and systems, based on identifying the portion of the circuit design that is associated with power shut-off, synthesize the HLS file into a register-transfer level (RTL) design of the circuit design in which one or more logic elements that implement the portion of the circuit design are enabled for shut down. In addition to the generation of the RTL design, a Power Intent File is generated to communicate a list of retention and non-retention registers to the downstream EDA flow.

Abstract: Technology for translating a behavioral description of a circuit into a structural description of the circuit is disclosed. The behavioral description may describe the circuit in terms of the behavior, or other functionality, of multiple circuit portions, with at least some of the multiple circuit portions having multiple components. The technology includes determining components across the multiple circuit portions of the behavioral description that have commonalities, and synthesizing the structural description with a description of a shared circuit portion instead of individual structural descriptions of the components having the determined commonality. The synthesized structural description may be organized according to a different hierarchical structure than that of the behavioral description.
