Abstract

Method and apparatus for translating a first program in a dynamically-typed language to a program in a hardware description language. From the dynamically-typed-language first program, a second program in single static assignment format is generated. For cases where a variable is assigned different data types at different places in the program, the assignments of the different data types are resolved for the variable. The second program is then translated to a program in the hardware description language.
