Abstract
The authors discuss in detail the synthesis of structures from behavioural domain descriptions. The overall synthesis approach is explained, the techniques and methods used to solve the main problems are discussed, implementation results are given, and experiences with various examples are described. The principal topics that are addressed are design description in the behavioural domain using a formal language, internal representation of the behaviour, synthesis based on data-flow analysis, optimizations and generation of a hardware structure. These techniques were implemented in the Karlsruhe DSL synthesis system
