Application of Behavioral Synthesis to Multimedia Chip Design

In this project, we attempt to investigate the feasibility of using behavioral synthesis

technology for large scale multimedia chip design project. The project will be completed in

Metabacus Inc, an Ontario startup company that develops and markets behavioral synthesis

technology, which automatically converts software into chip designs. Although promising, one

obstacle for the wide deployment of behavioral synthesis as the next generation chip design

methodology is demonstrating the success 01 Ihe technology on large-scale chip project The

proposed research attempts to build a state-of-the-art, multi-standard, multi-resolution video

decoder with Metabacus’ behavioral synthesis technology. The decoder finds many

applications in TV, DVD, portable media players, and automobile entertainment systems. By

building a realistic application of large scale, this research shall provide answer to many key

questions of interest both to academia, and the partner company.
