I try to make an survey/history of all C-to-hardware compilers.

For all that dont know them: they take C code then translate it into some hardware description language (like VHDL or Verilog), which then can be used to generate hardware (usually it gets mapped to an FPGA - but I am not limited to that, ASIC as target would be fine too).

I already have quite collected some (+ info about them). So my question is: Do you know any other compilers (and if so have any references, pointers, information about them)?

My list so far:

  • AutoESL
  • Bach-C (Sharp)
  • C2H (Altera)
  • C2R (Cebatech)
  • C2Verilog (CompiLogic / C Level Design / Synposys)
  • Carte / MAP (SRC Computers)
  • Cascade (CriticalBlue)
  • CASH (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh)
  • Catapult-C (Mentor Graphics)
  • CHC (Altium)
  • CHiMPS (University of Washington (Seattle) / Xilinx / soon commercial?)
  • C-to-Verilog (Haifa)
  • Comrade (TU Braunschweig E.I.S. + TU Darmstadt E.S.A.)
  • CVC (Hitachi)
  • Cyber (NEC)
  • Daedalus (Uni Amsterdam, Uni Leiden)
  • DIME-C (Nallatech)
  • eXCite (YXI)
  • FP-Compiler (Altera)
  • FpgaC (OpenSource)
  • GarpCC (Callahan, University of California at Berkeley)
  • GAUT (UBS-Universität Frankreich)
  • Handel-C (Celoxica)
  • Hthreads (University of Kansas)
  • Impulse-C (Impulse Accelerated Technologies)
  • Mitrion-C (Mitrionics)
  • DWARV (TU Delft)
  • NIMBLE (Synopsys, E.I.S. Braunschweig)
  • NISC (University of California, Irvine)
  • PICO-Express (Synfora => Synopsys)
  • PRISC (Harvard University, Cambridge)
  • ROCCC (University of California, Riverside)
  • SPARK (University of California, Irvine)
  • SpecC (Gajski et al.)
  • Trident (OpenSource, Los Alamos National Laboratory)
  • UGH
