Extensions to the Reversible Hardware Description Language SyReC

Abstract

Hardware Description Languages (HDL) are proposed to facilitate the design of complex circuits and to allow for scalable synthesis. While rather established for conventional circuits, HDLs for the design and synthesis of reversible circuits are at the beginning. SyReC is a representative of such an HDL which already has successfully be applied to realize complexfunctionality in reversible logic. Nevertheless, the grammar and, by this, the functional scope of this language is rather limited. In this work, we propose extensions to the SyReC HDL which will enhance the usability of the language. For each extension, we additionally provide corresponding synthesis schemes. Overall, this yields a new (extended) SyReC HDL, which will simplify the design and realization of corresponding circuits.
