High Level Architecture Framework

A systems approach - LAND 125 (L125) high level architecture framework... 

The last case we would like to highlight is when partial simulations are already available (such as e.g. the EPS and SCADA). Here an integration, as proposed in the High Level Architecture Approach, could provide a powerful framework to integrate existing (and potentially very powerful) tools.

An extensive behavioural verification of the SiLAGE specification is required, either by simulation or by emulation. Our compiled-code simulator S2C efficiently simulates at a high level using floating-point precision, or at the bit-true level where the exact finite word-length specifications are taken into account. The Silage description may contain high-level functions such as an FFT, an absolute value, a mean calculation or a division. For these functions, bit-true behavioural simulation models have to be fetched from the framework LIB to ensure consistency with the architectural implementation models. 

The PISYN high-level synthesis system is the result of a project at GE Corporate Research and Development in Schenectady, NY. It was motivated by the need for increased productivity and cost effectiveness in the design of application specific pipelined hardware. The PISYN (pi sin), P/peline SJWthesis system is a tool within an overall framework called FACE, Flexible Architecture Compilation Environment. This chapter will discuss PISYN only the interested reader is referred to [1][2] where FACE and its user interface are discussed.
