DESCRIPTION:Digital systems are growing in importance and computing hardwa
 re is growing more heterogeneous. Hardware design\, however\, remains labo
 rious and expensive\, in part due to the limitations of conventional hardw
 are description languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog. A longstanding res
 earch goal has been programming hardware like software\, with high-level l
 anguages that can generate efficient hardware designs.  In this talk\, we 
 will present Kanagawa\, a language that takes a new approach to combine th
 e programmer productivity benefits of traditional High-Level Synthesis (HL
 S) approaches with the expressibility and hardware efficiency of Register-
 Transfer Level (RTL) design.  The language's concise syntax\, matched with
  a hardware design-friendly execution model\, permits a relatively simple 
 toolchain to map high-level code into efficient hardware implementations.
