System-Level Synthesis deals with the concurrent design of electronic applications, including both hardware and software. The issue has become the bottleneck in

Recently there has been increased interest in the development of computer-aided design programs to support the system level designer of integrated circuits more

Embedded systems are usually composed of several interacting components such as custom or application specific processors, ASICs, memory blocks, and the associa

This book presents an excellent collection of contributions addressing different aspects of high-level synthesis from both industry and academia. It includes an

Research on high-level synthesis started over twenty years ago, but lower-level tools were not available to seriously support the insertion of high-level synthe
