BlueSpec Makes Hardware-Software Language Conversion Simple
The language developed in early late 1990s and in the previous decade could soon be commanding the future hand held devices. With world speedily moving towards palmtops, iPads and Cell phones it is becoming a need to generalize the concepts of a chip. Hardware designers would soon be able to use data abstraction much to the ease of everyone.

While developing a design, a designer has to have the functions clear in his mind. The operations which he wants the software to perform and the steps which he wants the hardware to follow have to be precise. It is however experienced half way through the designing process that sometimes we some particular expectations from the hardware. The moment this thought arises, you need to re-program the instruction set in altogether different language. This rigidity is solved by a group of scientists from MIT with the help of BlueSpec or a language which comes in handy for data abstraction.
MIT scientist Arvind, the Charles W. and Jennifer C. Johnson Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science who developed BlueSpec have made it possible for the computing industry to move forward without having to draw the #-Link-Snipped-# with great efforts. The system so developed by Arvind and his company BlueSpec Inc. which he co-founded in 2003 enable the designer to generate relevant codes with single command or function. For achieving this, the Programming language also exhibits a higher level of data abstraction.
The system of #-Link-Snipped-# will be discussed by MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at 17th International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems. BlueSpec or the technology developed by the group also helps us to elaborate the relation between special purpose hardware and a general purpose processor. The aim is to reduce the complexities are the devices get smaller and the technology is upgraded to the next level. BlueSpec in other words provide compatibility with various modules of a circuit and helps them commanded with a same instruction set. The development will hence convert industry's hard work into smart work.
