OSCAR

General information

OSCAR — The programming system for Operative Synthesis of Computers from Algorithmic Representation.
OSCAR is the programming system for operative synthesis of algorithmic computing devices (ACD) intended for the automatic generation of an ASICs design from the algorithmic representation. OSCAR allows synthesis of various options of ACD, from single clock to multiclock.
The developer, specifying an algorithm of the data processing on algorithmic representation, gets on return fully debugged and synthesizable VHDL model of the device that implements described algorithm.
The architecture of the device is fully optimized for the executed algorithm and maximally uses its ability for paralleling. Obtained VHDL design may be further implemented in FPGA by any available FPGA design solution.
