Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods automatically generate optimized hardware description language (HDL) code for an executable model. An intermediate representation is generated for the executable model, which includes model elements. The intermediate representation includes nodes corresponding to the model elements. The HDL code is generated from the intermediate representation. A synthesis tool chain performs hardware synthesis using the HDL code. The synthesis tool chain generates performance characteristics of hardware components defined by the synthesis tool chain. The performance characteristics are mapped to the nodes of the intermediate representation, and one or more performance bottlenecks are identified. At least one optimization technique is applied to the intermediate representation to produce a revised intermediate representation, which is then used to generate new HDL code. The process may be repeated until the performance bottlenecks are eliminated or a termination criterion is met.
