Abstract :
Existing interfaces for high-level synthesis dictate that the synthesis process be iterative rather than interactive. This paper presents an interface tool for architectural synthesis that introduces real-time interaction to high-level synthesis interfaces. ACE makes innovations in the dynamic display of synthesizer transformations and introduces new concepts in input algorithm specification.
