Translating Timing into an Architecture: The Synergy of COTSon and HLS (Domain Expertise—Designing a Computer Architecture via HLS)
Figure 1
Design and test methodology of the AXIOM involved a mix of simulation (via the COTSon simulator and other custom tools) and FPGA prototyping (via our custom AXIOM board and hardware synthesis tools (like Vivado HLS)) [11].
