ABSTRACT:
A silicon-compilation method, a silicon-compiler arrangement, an abstract-circuit synthesis module usable in such arrangement, a machine-generated abstract circuit produced by such module, an electronic circuit generated by such method and a reset-free circuit produced by such arrangement. There are described a method and arrangement for silicon compilation. First, an algorithmic procedure to be executed by the electronic circuit is expressed in an imperative concurrent language. This, under execution of lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis is converted to a structure tree as an abstract representation of said procedure. This structure tree then is converted into an abstract circuit, wherein each basic component is a program module and each abstract channel corresponds to a program channel. Thereafter, the abstract circuit is converted into a concrete circuit, while obeying timing-organization constraints, circuitry-type constraints and technology constraints. Finally, the concrete circuit is converted into a very large-scale integrated-circuit layout.
