High-level synthesis and test in the MOSCITO-based virtual laboratory

The paper describes the results of the COPERNICUS europroject JEP-97-7133 VILAB (VIrtual LABoratory) obtained in a Internet-based joint activities of high-level design and hierarchical test generation of digital systems. Different CAD tools at geographically different places running under virtual environment were used for joint research purposes. The interfaces and convertors between the integrated tools were developed during the project. The tools can be used separately over Internet, or in multiple applications in different complex flows. The functionality of the virtual laboratory in a collaborative research on HW/SW codesign, high-level synthesis and test generation was tested and is described in the paper.
