FPGAissa

FPGAissa is a high-level synthesis (HLS) tool developed by Intel, designed to convert high-level programming languages, such as C, C++, and SystemC, into hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog. This process allows developers to design and implement digital circuits using familiar programming languages, thereby accelerating the development cycle and reducing the complexity associated with traditional HDL-based design. FPGAissa supports a wide range of Intel FPGA devices, including those based on the Cyclone, Stratix, and Arria families, and is integrated into the Intel Quartus Prime software suite. The tool offers features such as automatic pipelining, loop unrolling, and resource sharing, which optimize the generated hardware for performance and efficiency. Additionally, FPGAissa provides a comprehensive debugging and profiling environment, enabling developers to analyze and optimize their designs effectively. By leveraging FPGAissa, engineers can focus more on algorithm development and less on the intricacies of hardware design, ultimately leading to faster and more reliable FPGA implementations.
