XLS: Accelerated HW Synthesis

Google's XLS generates hardware from high-level code, targeting the end of Moore's Law

XLS is an open-source high-level synthesis toolchain from Google that turns flexible descriptions into synthesizable Verilog and SystemVerilog. It aims to be the SDK for the End of Moore's Law era, enabling hardware IP that also runs as efficient host software. The project is experimental, with a Rust-inspired DSL called DSLX, and supports both pure functions and concurrent processes. Colab notebooks and binary releases are available.

XLS (Accelerated HW Synthesis) aims to be the Software Development Kit (SDK) for the End of Moore's Law (EoML) era.
