Question 1

What does HLS do?

  • Generates hardware from high-level languages
  • Only performs RTL synthesis
  • Reduces power consumption

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how HLS relates to programming languages.

Question 2

True or False: Scheduling in HLS is only concerned with timing constraints.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what else scheduling might influence beyond just timing.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have an HLS tool that generates hardware for an image processing algorithm. Explain how scheduling could affect the performance of this implementation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how breaking down the image processing into parallel operations might help speed things up.

Question 2

Develop a custom scenario where binding in HLS might lead to excessive power consumption. How could you mitigate this?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the types of operations and resources used in high-level designs.
