7This task deals with the main features for embedded systems.
8Its objectives are the specification of the designer input, the
9definition of the hardware architectural templates and all the features
10that the HAS tools share.

14\item This \ST specifies COACH for the system designer. At this
15    level COACH is a black box. The deliverables are documents allowing the system
16    designers to use COACH: feeding it (inputs), how to use it (design flow),
17    what COACH can generate (definition of the generic architecture of the
18    MPSoC and its 3 targets hardware mapping).
19    \begin{livrable}
20    \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Supmc}{COACH user manual} \setMacroInAuxFile{specGenManualI}
21        It is the first milestone of the COACH user manual that will allow the demonstrator
22        \STs to start.
23        It contains the general description of the framework, the design flow and the
24        description of the architectural templates.
25        It refers to the HAS user manual (delivrable {\specHasManual}) and
26        to the CSG manual (delivrable \specCsgManual) for the COACH input
27        descriptions.
28    \itemL{6}{12}{d}{\Supmc}{COACH user manual}{1:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specGenManual}
29        The COACH user manual of the {\specGenManualI} delivrable updated with the feed-backs
30        of the demonstrator \STs.
31    \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Stima}{CSG user manual} \setMacroInAuxFile{specCsgManualI}
32        It is the first milestone of the CSG (COACH System Generator) user manual that
33                will allow the demonstrator \STs to start.
34        It specifies how the task graph is described, the communication schemes and its
35        associated API (Application  Programming Interface).
36        The base is the SRL library and the MWMR communication component defined by the SocLib
37        ANR project.
38        Nevertheless, these basic schemes will be enhanced to allow more efficient
39        synthesis.
40    \itemL{6}{12}{d}{\Stima}{CSG user manual}{1:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specCsgManual}
41        The CSG user manual of the {\specGenManualI} delivrable updated with the feed-backs
42        of the demonstrator \STs.
43    \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Subs}{HAS user manual} \setMacroInAuxFile{specHasManualI}
44        It is the first milestone of the HAS (Hardware Accelerator Synthesis) user manual that
45                will allow the demonstrator \STs to start.
46        It specifies how tasks must be written (C/C++ subset) and how
47        communication schemes defined in the {\specCsgManual} delivrable must be described for
48        coprocessor synthesis.
49    \itemL{6}{12}{d}{\Subs}{HAS user manual}{0:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specHasManual}
50        The HAS user manual of the {\specGenManualI} delivrable updated with the feed-backs of
51        the demonstrator \STs.
52    \end{livrable}

66        \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachDocII}

73        the expression of loop potential parallelism.
74    \itemV{6}{12}{x}{\Subs}{C++ to/from \xcoach format (1)}
75        \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToCAI}
76        Proposition of a GCC plugin that generates a \xcoach description

107    \end{livrable}
108\item Backend HLS tools use a characterized macro-cell library to build the
109    micro-architecture of a coprocessor. The characterisation of a cell depends
110    on the target device. The role of this \ST is to define the macro-cells and
111    to provite a tool that characterizes them automatically by synthesizing them
112    and by extracting their delays. This is done by using RTL synthesis.

118        for a FPGA device.
