Google develops WebM video decompression hardware IP using High-Level Synthesis
Success Story
This paper will describe the actual use of Catapult High-Level Synthesis (HLS) by the WebM team in the successful implementation of the G2 VP9 and share results and impressions. It presents the HLS methodology used to develop the VP9 G2 hardware decoder and explains how it supports the goals and strategies of the WebM project. It explains why the HLS approach makes design implementation and verification 50% faster than a traditional RTL design flow, and how it enables design teams with different end products to collaborate and contribute to the same IP.
