A method is presented for automatically translating a concurrent program into an asynchronous circuit. The translation procedure involves a simple syntax-directed translation from program constructs into initial asynchronous circuits. The resulting circuits are improved with correctness-preserving circuit-to-circuit transformations similar to peephole optimization in conventional compilers. Because these steps can be proved to be correct, the programmer is guaranteed that any specification met by the program will also be met by the circuit. A system has been constructed to perform the translation automatically. A brief description of the method is given, followed by two examples of programs translated into circuits. > |
