\begin{objectif}
The objectives of this task are the specification of the designer input, the
definition of the hardware architectural templates and of all the features
that the HAS tools will share.
An other objective is the specification of the framework used to facilitate the 
exploitation and the integration of the core engine into an industrial flow.

\subtask{Specification of the COACH environment}
    This \ST specifies the global COACH environment for the system designer:
    the core engine which is seen as a black box associated
    with a configuration framework based on Eclipse.
    This framework will be integated into Magillem tool suite.
    The deliverables specify 
    how to feed COACH (the inputs),
    how to use COACH (use model),
    what is generated (the outputs)
    and  how the Magillem framework iteracts with the core engine.
    \begin{livrable}
    \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Supmc}{Use model specification}
        This document describes the use model of COACH. It will be a cooperative work.
        Its main parts are:
        \begin{description}
          \item[General overview] (\Supmc)
          \item[CSG specification] (\Stima):
            here the COACH System Generator Generator is specified:
            how the task graph is described, the communication schemes and
            its associated API (Application  Programming Interface).
            The base is the SRL library and the MWMR communication component defined
            by the SocLib ANR project.
            Nevertheless, these basic schemes will be enhanced to allow more efficient
            synthesis.
          \item[HAS specification] (\Subs):
            this part focuses to the Hardware Accelerator Synthesis.
            It specifies how tasks must be written (C/C++ subset) and how
            communication schemes must be described for coprocessor synthesis.
          \item[Magillem framework specification] (\Smds):
            this part specifies the fonctionnalities enabling the interactions between
            Magillem and the core engine.

\subtask{Tool for cell library creation}
    Backend HLS tools use a characterized macro-cell library to build the
    micro-architecture of a coprocessor. The characterisation of a cell depends
    on the target device. The role of this \ST is to define the macro-cells and
    to provite a tool that characterizes them automatically by synthesizing them
    and by extracting their delays. This is done by using RTL synthesis.
