Methodology and Software for Designing Data-Processing ICs (465 words) |
 | Kompiler provides a user interface that enables selection of various options to satisfy the requirements of the particular application in which the functional block is intended to be used, while enabling a tradeoff between resources and features. |
 | Kompiler also affords options for selection of synthesis software and for choosing among coding styles, as coding styles can strongly affect the results of the logic synthesis. |
 | One of the initial applications and a complex test case for the Kompiler concept is the redesign of a commercial single-chip FPGA (field-programmable gate array) controller, denoted the AM29CPL154, that is radiation-soft, consumes high power by present standards, and is no longer manufactured. |

 | In computing, the KOMPILER was one of the first language compilation and runtime systems for International Business Machines' IBM 701, the fastest commercial U.S. computer available in 1955. |
 | Known versions are KOMPILER 2 for IBM 701 and KOMPILER 3 for the IBM 704. |
 | KOMPILER was eventually replaced by a Fortran compiler on the IBM 704. |
