摘要

权威专家宣称,计算机架构的黄金时代即将到来。在这个时代,架构师能够创新的速度将直接与他们使用的硬件描述语言的设计和实现联系在一起。因此,编程语言社区正站在通往这个新的黄金时代的关键道路上。这意味着我们也正处于硬件描述语言的黄金时代的尖端。在本文中,我们讨论了对硬件描述语言设计、编译器和形式化方法感兴趣的研究人员所面临的智力挑战。主要的主题将是确定应用编程语言技术来解决硬件设计生产力问题的机会。然后,我们提出了一个多语言系统的愿景,为开发这些智力问题的解决方案提供了一个框架。这一愿景是基于元编程主机语言和核心嵌入式硬件描述语言的结合,该语言被用作研究和开发领域特定语言海洋的基础。该系统设计的核心是基于抽象的核心语言,该抽象为用任何语言描述的硬件组件的组合提供了通用机制。

A Golden Age of Hardware Description Languages: Applying Programming Language Techniques to Improve Design Productivity
Leading experts have declared that there is an impending golden age of computer architecture. During this age, the rate at which architects will be able to innovate will be directly tied to the design and implementation of the hardware description languages they use. Thus, the programming languages community stands on the critical path to this new golden age. This implies that we are also on the cusp of a golden age of hardware description languages. In this paper, we discuss the intellectual challenges facing researchers interested in hardware description language design, compilers, and formal methods. The major theme will be identifying opportunities to apply programming language techniques to address issues in hardware design productivity. Then, we present a vision for a multi-language system that provides a framework for developing solutions to these intellectual problems. This vision is based on a meta-programmed host language combined with a core embedded hardware description language that is used as the basis for the research and development of a sea of domain-specific languages. Central to the design of this system is the core language which is based on an abstraction that provides a general mechanism for the composition of hardware components described in any language.
