heal.abstract	A new approach for the systematic design of application-specific architectures is presented. The behavioral specifications are given in an extended version of Prolog that allows the high-level description of algorithms to be implemented in special-purpose VLSI circuits. The presented system facilitates the development of many alternative architectures from the same specifications. It is also capable of supporting both synchronous and asynchronous components, depending on the requirements of each particular problem. Automatic recursion elimination is another feature of the presented system, therefore allowing the implementation of fast special-purpose architectures for a wide range of practical computing problems. © 1991.	en
