Question 1.
What does HLS stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the synthesis process at a higher level than RTL.
Question 2.
Name one high-level language that can be used in HLS.
Show hintHide hint
Consider popular programming languages for hardware design.
3Question 3.
What does HLS do?
- Generates hardware from high-level languages
- Only performs RTL synthesis
- Reduces power consumption
Show hintHide hint
Think about how HLS relates to programming languages.
4Question 4.
True or False: Scheduling in HLS is only concerned with timing constraints.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what else scheduling might influence beyond just timing.
Question 5.
Suppose you have an HLS tool that generates hardware for an image processing algorithm. Explain how scheduling could affect the performance of this implementation.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how breaking down the image processing into parallel operations might help speed things up.
Question 6.
Develop a custom scenario where binding in HLS might lead to excessive power consumption. How could you mitigate this?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the types of operations and resources used in high-level designs.
