BSC

BSC is the open source compiler toolchain for Bluespec SystemVerilog, a high-level, rule-based hardware design language. It translates Bluespec descriptions into synthesizable Verilog, letting developers bring typed, modular abstractions into mainstream FPGA/ASIC flows. The compiler performs scheduling of atomic rules, elaborates parameterized modules, and enforces interface contracts, producing predictable RTL that integrates with existing EDA tools. A companion simulator enables fast functional execution and debugging before handing designs to traditional verification and synthesis stages. The ecosystem includes standard libraries, FIFOs, interfaces, and utilities that encourage reuse and clean separation of datapaths and control. By raising the abstraction for hardware architecture while preserving efficient output, BSC helps teams explore complex designs—such as RISC-V cores or accelerators—more productively.
