Dynamatic

Dynamatic is an academic, open-source high-level synthesis compiler that produces synchronous dynamically-scheduled circuits from C/C++ code. Dynamatic generates synthesizable RTL which currently targets Xilinx FPGAs and delivers significant performance improvements compared to state-of-the-art commercial HLS tools in specific situations (e.g., applications with irregular memory accesses or control-dominated code). The fully automated compilation flow of Dynamatic is based on MLIR. It is customizable and extensible to target different hardware platforms and easy to use with commercial tools such as Vivado (Xilinx) and Modelsim (Mentor Graphics).

Using Dynamatic

To get started using Dynamatic (after setting it up), check out our introductory tutorial, which guides you through your first compilation of C code into a synthesizable dataflow circuit! If you want to start modifying Dynamatic and are new to MLIR or compilers in general, our MLIR primer and pass creation tutorial will help you take your first steps.
