Abstract

This paper describes features of EXEL, a graphic language that gives the designer control over the behavioral synthesis process. Control is achieved by allowing the designer to partially specify the structural design into which the description is going to be compiled, or by binding desired variables and operators to particular components or connections, and binding desired operations to particular states of the final design. EXEL's compiler runs on SUN-3 workstations and is written in C and SUNVIEW.
