Cyber: High Level Synthesis System from Software into ASIC

Recent advances in integrated circuit fabrication technology have led to larger and more complex logic circuits. Thus, it is becoming more important to have powerful synthesis tool in order to reduce the chip design cost. Up to now, logic synthesis systems have been used for designing main-frame computers, workstations and personal computers. Since the size of logic circuit becomes larger, the designers need higher level synthesis tools than the conventional logic synthesis systems.
