Yeah, the High-Level Synthesis work goes back to the 1990's. Wikipedia has a nice list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_synthesis

They didn't really pan out in terms of large uptake. They did solve some problems pretty well with shorter, developer time. There's also been open source ones designed. Here's a few:

https://www.synflow.com

Many of the other ones seem dead or don't have a software page. I'm not sure what's current in FOSS HLS with C-like languages. Anyone know of other developments at least as good as the two I linked?



Nitpick: LegUp is published under a "no commercial use" license. Synflow mentions they use a "open-source language" but it is not clear how much of the tool chain is open source.


Didn't know about LegUp restriction. Thanks!
