Abstract
A method for generating an application specific integrated circuit including providing a software configurable semiconductor integrated circuit having a fixed hardware architecture that includes a plurality of task engines. A high-level language compiler is provided that compiles a user created high-level language program that defines the application specific integrated circuit. The compiler parses the program into a plurality of microtasks for instructing the plurality of task engines to implement the application specific integrated circuit.
