CAES Language for Synchronous Hardware

CλaSH - A functional hardware description language

CλaSH (pronounced ‘clash’) is a functional hardware description language that borrows both its syntax and semantics from the functional programming language Haskell. The CλaSH compiler transforms these high-level descriptions to low-level synthesizable VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.

Features of CλaSH:

• Strongly typed, but with a very high degree of type inference, enabling both safe and fast prototyping using concise descriptions.

• Interactive REPL: load your designs in an interpreter and easily test all your component without needing to setup a test bench.

• Higher-order functions, with type inference, result in designs that are fully parametric by default.

• Synchronous sequential circuit design based on streams of values, called Signals, lead to natural descriptions of feedback loops.

• Support for multiple clock domains, with type safe clock domain crossing.
