Overview of the Synthesis Flow

To decouple the system from a particular input language, synthesis transfOT-mations at the behavioral, structural, and logic levels are defined and applied on the following internal models  

Synthesis can be fully automated to transform an input HardwareC description directly to a logic-level implementation. Hercules and Hebe also support user-driven synthesis, where a designer can intervene and drive high-level decisions based on an evaluation of the possible design tradeoffs.
