Kiwi: Compiling Concurrent Programs to Hardware

Advert: Current project led by David Greaves and Satnam Singh: »Web Site

» Times Table Very Simple Demo

Kiwi is developing a methodology for hardware design using the parallel programming constructs of the CSharp language. Specifically, Kiwi consists of a run-time library for native simulation of hardware descriptions within CSharp and a compiler that generates RTL from stylised .net bytecode.

The designer uses more concurrency than `natural' for software. This is mapped to concurrent hardware by the Kiwi tools.

Each thread is subject to classical HLS (that generates a static schedulle for that thread) but then threads interact dynamically with arbiters and queues.
