Hardware estimator for HDL language

The Hardware Description Language is transformed into intermediate format. The intermediate format can be Control Data Flow Graph (CDFG), Data Flow Graph (DFG), Control Flow Graph (CFG), Finite State Machine (FSM) etc. The intermediate format used in our tool is Control Flow Graph. A novel technique for hardware estimation is suggested for control construct alone. The estimation is carried out for different benchmarks and is reported in this work.
