XLS: Accelerated HW Synthesis
...The compiler lowers DSLX into a rich intermediate representation, applies aggressive optimization and scheduling passes, and can either JIT the design for software simulation or emit Verilog for FPGA/ASIC flows. A key idea is “software-style” iteration: fast, deterministic simulation via the JIT encourages test-driven development and property checking before committing to RTL. XLS also provides tooling for pipelining, state insertion, and formal equivalence checks between different stages, giving developers confidence as designs evolve. The result is a productive path from high-level specification to real hardware, without giving up control over latency, throughput, and area trade-offs.
