Balsa Asynchronous Synthesis System Description

Balsa Asynchronous Synthesis System is a circuit synthesizer. Balsa project is an asynchronous circuit synthesis system. Balsa is built around the Handshake Circuits methology, and it can generate gate level netlists from high-level descriptions in the Balsa language.Both dual-rail (QDI) and single-rail (bundled data) circuits can be generated.Requirements:· GCC >= 3.2 · GLIB >= 1.2.0· GTK >= 1.2.0· GNU libgmp multiprecision arithmetic library >= 4.1· GNU guile Scheme interpreter >= 1.3Installation1) cd to a convenient build directory and get all the packages listed above2) Choose a handy installation directory, eg. /usr/local/balsa, and add that directory to your shell paths: PATH=/usr/local/balsa/bin:${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/balsa/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}3) Install the Balsa package: tar xzf balsa-3.4.2.tar.gz cd balsa-3.4.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/balsa make install cd ..4) Install the other optional packages: tar xzf gtkwave-2.0.0pre5.tar.gz cd gtkwave-2.0.0pre5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/balsa make install cd .. tar xzf espresso-ab-1.0.tar.gz cd espresso-ab-1.0 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/balsa make install cd ..4b) Install dot if you want the visualisation system* Either from the graphviz package (better) tar xzf graphviz-2.2.tar.gz cd graphviz-2.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/balsa make install cd ..* Or from the binary version (deprecated) #chmod +x dot--1.10 #cp dot--1.10 /usr/local/balsa/bin/dot5) Check that the executables gtkwave, espresso and dot are visible in the path which gtkwave which espresso which dot6) Check that the executable balsa-config is visible which balsa-config7) Install the example technology package tar xzf balsa-tech-example-3.4.tar.gz cd balsa-tech-example-3.4 ./configure # Note, no prefix! # Configure should find the Balsa installation make install cd ..8) If you need Verilog simulation, please continue with the instructions in INSTALL_VerilogSimulatorsWhat's New in This Release:This release adds several changes aimed at achieving substantial performance improvements by the introduction of new handshake components. A number of experimental features have been made visible to the general user and there have been a number of minor bug fixes.
