Abstract

The third High-Level Synthesis Workshop was held in January of this year at Orcas Island, Washington*. What distinguished this workshop from its predecessors was that participants were asked to submit papers describing the application of their systems and algorithms to a set of benchmarks. This proved to be a successful method for comparing the extensive research being conducted in this area of CAD. In this paper, we will briefly describe the benchmarks and use them as a foundation for outlining the major themes in the research work presented at the workshop. The paper concludes with a summary of the discussions held during the course of the workshop on the future development of the high-level synthesis benchmark suite.
