Scheduler for Toy Bluespec Verilog CompilerThere is a locally-written, toy Bluespec Verilog compiler on this LINK. A basic parser has just been added but there are many details missing compared with the compiler from Bluespec Inc. The most important and interesting thing is the rule scheduler. The toy version currently just puts the rules in the priority order found in the source file. The toy compiler is written in FSHARP. The project would be to consider several basic design problems that can benefit from a good scheduler or which cannot be scheduled using the standard approach. Several small examples and one larger example would make a good basis. The next step is to make sure the toy compiler can compile these designs to some extent (one or two basic Bluespec features might need to be added to the compiler. Finally, explore the performance of the designs as scheduled in new and different ways. |
