hls

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenges of converting C/C++ algorithms into synthesisable RTL, optimizing HLS directives, and ensuring RTL equivalence with the original C model.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Algorithm Analysis: Identifies and resolves HLS-hostile patterns in C/C++ code.
• Directive Planning: Implements HLS directives for latency, throughput, and area optimization.
• Synthesis Execution: Performs HLS synthesis and verifies the generated RTL.
• Co-Simulation Verification: Compares RTL outputs with the C golden model for accuracy.
• Sign-off: Ensures all HLS-hostile patterns are resolved and verifies RTL equivalence.
• Use Case: For a chip designer looking to convert a C/C++ algorithm into RTL for a high-level synthesis tool, this Skill automates the process from analysis to sign-off, reducing manual effort and potential errors.

Quick Start
