Abstract
A behavioral synthesis tool for generating an integrated circuit design is described. The behavioral synthesis tool allows a designer to interactively allocate variables or arrays to memory resources without having to modify a source code description of the integrated circuit. The behavioral synthesis tool reads the source code description and generates a synthesis intermediate format stored in memory. The synthesis tool searches the in-memory synthesis intermediate format to find arrays for each process. The arrays are then listed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI allows the designer to create memory resources, specifying the type of memory, the packing mode, etc. The designer can then drag and drop the array variables listed in the GUI onto the memory resources. Upon completion of modifying the memory allocation, the designer saves the changes illustrated in the GUI and such changes are effectuated by automatically updating the synthesis intermediate format.
