Building hardware from C# models

Inhalt:
This paper introduces a method for modeling hardware in the C# language, using an abstraction called Synchronous Message Exchange. We describe how Synchronous Message Exchange helps model hardware from a high-level language, and describe the process used in automatically transpiling a subset of C# models into standard VHDL. We evaluate the approach with a set of examples, comprising a memory component, a financial trading algorithm, and AES encryption.
