Extracting a system architecture in high level synthesis includes determining a first function of a high level programming language description and a second function contained within a control flow construct of the high level programming description. The second function is determined to be a data consuming function of the first function. Within a circuit design, a port including a local memory is automatically generated. The port couples a first circuit block implementation of the first function to a second circuit block implementation of the second function within the circuit design.

Extracting system architecture in high level synthesis

Improving throughput during high level synthesis includes determining a data dependency for a flow control construct of a high level programming language description and translating the high level programming language description into a circuit design specifying circuitry for implementation within an integrated circuit. The circuitry is pipelined. As part of the circuit design and using a processor, a stall detection circuit is generated. The stall detection circuit is coupled to selectively initiate a stall of a stalling portion of the circuitry according to the data dependency.
