We present Calyx, a new intermediate language (IL) for compiling high-level programs into hardware designs. Calyx combines hardware-like structural with software-like control flow representation loops and conditionals. This split enables class of hardware-focused optimizations that require both information which are crucial programming models design. The compiler lowers constructs using finite-state machines generates synthesizable descriptions. have implemented in an optimizing translates...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide an opportunity to co-design applications with hardware accelerators, yet they remain difficult program. High-level synthesis (HLS) tools promise raise the level of abstraction by compiling C or C++ accelerator designs. Repurposing legacy software languages, however, requires complex heuristics map imperative code onto structures. We find that black-box in HLS can be unpredictable: changing parameters program should improve performance...

Embedded applications extract the best power-performance trade-off from digital signal processors (DSPs) by making extensive use of vectorized execution. Rather than handwriting many customized kernels these use, DSP engineers rely on auto-vectorizing compilers to quickly produce effective code. Building is a large and error-prone investment, each new architecture or application-specific ISA customization must repeat this effort derive high-performance compiler.

This paper presents an efficient numerical scheme for multiphase compositional flow coupled with subsurface heat transfer.

An implicit-pressure, explicit-concentrations (IMPEC) sequential algorithm is then applied iteratively to enforce non-linear volume balance saturation) constraint. pressure solved using mixed FEM, while concentrations updated consistent...
