From Hardware Description Languages to Accelerator Design Languages
An emerging class of programming languages aims to make it easier to design application-specific hardware accelerators. Relative to mainstream hardware description languages (HDLs), these new languages sacrifice the ability to express arbitrary circuitry in exchange for a higher level of abstraction specifically for accelerators. This post defines this new category of accelerator design languages (ADLs) and calls for more research on their design.
