Abstract
The Kiwi system is targeted at making reconfigurable computing technology accessible to software engineers that are willing to express their computations as parallel programs. Our kiwic compiler takes .NET assembly language with suitable custom attributes as input and produces Verilog output which is mapped to FPGAs. In this brief paper, we describe attributes used to mark up I/O nets, embed assertions, and for other purposes.
