Abstract

Hermod is an interactive behavioral synthesis program developed at Stanford University. With the use of a combined control and data flow graph (C /DFG) as an intermediate representation, Hermod generates functional blocks and their interconnection from behavioral descriptions. Hermod supports a menu-driven interface, displaying the control and data flow graph with a set of legitimate timing-cuts and its hardware representation. Emphasizing user participation, the system allows the user to control state partitioning and resource sharing through a graphical interface to explore the maximal design space. Written in an object-oriented language C ++, Hermod generates a hardware representation in several minutes from a behavioral description of practical size on a VAXstation II /GPX.
