Preliminary Evaluation of High-level Synthesis Tools - Xilinx Vivado and PandA Bambu

High-Ievel synthesis promises a boost in productivity by enabling synthesis of low-level electronic circuit descriptions out of high-level source code. In this work-in-progress paper we present a preliminary evaluation of two freely available high-level synthesis tools using four case studies. We describe the steps required in order to obtain a synthesizable FPGA design from C source code for each use case and discuss the performance of the resulting hardware implementations.
