Abstract
Translating to a hardware description language (HDL) from an architecture description language (ADL) is disclosed. An architecture description that is written in the ADL and has a hierarchical organization is received. Decoders are generated, described in the HDL, from the architecture description written in the ADL. Control signals are generated, described in the HDL, from the architecture description written in the ADL. The decoders are configured to output the control signals and the control signals are input to functional units in order to preserve the hierarchical organization of the architecture description written in the ADL.
