Abstract

This talk will present two experiments in programming language design and implementation on FPGA.

The first is an implementation of the OCaml langage on a softcore processor with hardware acceleration of user-defined functions (by compilation to RTL) and language extension to exploit data-parallelism.

The second provides a cycle-accurate language, compiled to RTL, to program embedded reactive systems mixing interaction and computation on FPGA.
