Turning Software into Hardware — Hastlayer

FPGA circuit design, and thus the unique computing power of FPGAs is currently mostly only accessible to experts working in the field. The Hastlayer project aims to give a tool to software developers familiar with the .NET platform to automatically transform performance-critical parts of their programs into seamlessly usable FPGA-implemented hardware, potentially yielding faster program execution and lower power consumption. This can benefit applications in academia and industry alike.
