High-level synthesis (HLS) has a long history dating back to the 1980s, with contributions from many in the electronic design automation field. But early acceptance of the technology was limited. At this session, learn about the genesis of the successful xPilot HLS system developed at UCLA, which was later licensed to AutoESL Design Technologies and ultimately acquired by Xilinx. Explore real-world results of the technology along with current research on system-level synthesis and generating HLS-friendly source code.
