In many cases however judicious use of preexisting manually optimized IP blocks within these datapaths could improve the compute performance even further. The integration of IP blocks into the compiled datapaths poses a different set of problems than stitching together IPs to form a system-on-chip though instead of the loose coupling using standard busses employed by SoCs the one between datapath and IP block must be much tighter. To this end we propose a concise language that can be efficiently synthesized using a template-based approach for automatically generating lightweight data and control interfaces at the datapath level.

INTRODUCTION Automatic high-level language compilers 1 2 are one of the prime means to make the compute power of reconfigurable computers available to developers. However despite the progress in such compile flows the generated hardware often does not reach the quality of designs carefully optimized by an expert designer. Thus it becomes desirable to tightly integrate optimized custom IP blocks with the compiler-generated datapath. While this mixed method is still new in the world of hardware design it has been .
