Using a high-level language (HLL) callable library for multiple instances of a core includes detecting, using computer hardware, a reference to an HLL library for a core within an HLL application, determining, using the computer hardware, a plurality of instances of the core by detecting function calls within the HLL application correlated to each of the plurality of instances of the core, and generating, using the computer hardware, interface code within the HLL application for each of the plurality of instances of the core using the HLL library. An executable version of the HLL application is generated, using the computer hardware, wherein the interface code for each of the plurality of instances of the core is bound to the respective instance of the core. The function calls can specify different parameterization files corresponding to the plurality of instances of the core.

Heterogeneous instantiation of high-level language callable library for hardware core

Creating a high-level language (HLL) callable library for a hardware core can include automatically querying, using computer hardware, a metadata description of a core to determine a plurality of available ports of the core, automatically determining, using the computer hardware, an argument of a first function specified in a header file corresponding to the core, mapping, using the computer hardware, the argument to a first port of the plurality of available ports, and automatically generating and storing, using the computer hardware, an HLL library specifying a mapping of the argument to the first port of the core. The HLL library is configured for inclusion with a user application during compilation.
