14\subtask{Specification of the COACH environment}
15    This \ST specifies the COACH environment for the system designer. In this
16    \ST the COACH framework is a black box. The deliverables are documents
17    specifying: how to feed COACH (the inputs), how to use COACH (use model),
18    what is generated (the outputs).
19    \begin{livrable}
20    \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Supmc}{Use model specification}
21        This document describes the use modle of COACH. It will be a cooperative work.
22        Its main parts are:
23        \begin{description}
24          \item[General overview] (\Supmc)
25          \item[CSG specification] (\Stima)
26            Here the COACH System Generator Generator is specified:
27            how the task graph is described, the communication schemes and
28            its associated API (Application  Programming Interface).
29            The base is the SRL library and the MWMR communication component defined
30            by the SocLib ANR project.
31            Nevertheless, these basic schemes will be enhanced to allow more efficient
32            synthesis.
33          \item[HAS specification] (\Subs)
34            This part focuses to the Hardware Accelerator Synthesis.
35            It specifies how tasks must be written (C/C++ subset) and how
36            communication schemes must be described for coprocessor synthesis.

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