Abstract
We describe how a behavioral synthesis system can be used to
create designs for FPGA-based computing systems directly from a
specification of the desired algorithm. This higher level of
specification reduces design times and design errors. Our target
hardware is called the Rasa Board and is composed of three Xilinx FPGAs
interconnected with Aptix Field Programmable Interconnect Chips. We
address two significant challenges in this research effort: the
synthesis of multiple FPGA designs, and the improvement of the design
through designer interaction
