Correct interactive transformational synthesis of DSP hardware

Published: 25 February 1991 Publication History

Abstract

We present a new interactive tool for the guided synthesis of digital signal processing hardware. The tool is driven from a HDL. It will suggest different ways of implementing different architectures for the same specification, maintaining the correctness of implementations during the design process. The tool will automatically generate input for the Boyer Moore theorem prover from the HDL specification in order to verify the correctness of the implementations.
