Alchemy: Transmutating Programs into Circuits
The Alchemy project aims to trasmutate programs into circuits for either faster execution or execution with reduced energy consumption on specialized hardware like FPGAs. Our project is developing technology to automatically synthesize programs written in C using dynamic data structures, or multi-thread programs in C# or data-parallel programs using Microsoft’s Accelerator system into circuits.
