Abstract
A method for performing high-level synthesis (HLS) of a digital design includes a first phase for performing transformations on a behavioral description of the design, and a second phase for selecting a transformation from a plurality of transformations for transforming the behavioral description. The method further includes a third phase for implementing the transformed behavioral description using lower level primitives, and a fourth phase for generating implementation codes for the design.
