1. DC, SynDEx, and DC2SDX

DC ("Declarative Code") is a common format for synchronous languages (Esterel, Lustre, and Signal). This format provides an unified, declarative representation of the synchronous programs "in order to allow tools to be shared (e.g., code generators, distributed code generators, verification tools, silicon compilers, simulators, ...) and to make easier the integration of programs written in different languages" [DC-98].

SynDEx is a system level CAD software, supporting the "Algorithm Architecture Adequation" (AAA) methodology, for rapid prototyping and optimizing the implementation of real-time embedded applications on multicomponent architectures. It has been designed and developped at INRIA Rocquencourt France, in the SOSSO project.

DC2SDX is a translator from DC specifications to SynDEx specifications, thus allowing the interconnection of synchronous languages to SynDEx. DC2SDX is developped using SYNTAX and FNC-2, two powerful compiler generation tools designed at INRIA Rocquencourt.
