Abstrakt: Designers translate DSP algorithms into application-specific hardware via primitives composed in various ways for different architectural realizations. Despite sharing underlying algorithms and hardware constructs, designs are often difficult to reuse, leading to redeveloping/reverifying conceptually similar instances. Hardware generators are attractive solutions for effectively balancing fine-grained control of implementation details with simple, retargetable hardware descriptions. This work presents ACED, a hardware library for generating DSP systems. It extends the Chisel hardware construction language and FIRRTL compiler and operates on three principles: zero-cost abstraction, unobtrusive downstream optimization/specialization promoting generator reusability, and unified, portable systems modeling and verification.
