SIGPLAN notices
We present a new language, Lime, which is designed to be executable across a broad range of architectures, from FPGAs to conventional CPUs. ...
We present the language as a whole, focusing on its novel features for limiting side-effects and integration of the streaming paradigm into an objectoriented language. ...
Acknowledgments Shan Shan Huang made substantial contributions to an earlier version of the Lime language. We thank Martin Hirzel, Doug Lea, David Ungar and the reviewers for their valuable comments. ...

Virtualization of heterogeneous machines hardware description in a synthesizable object-oriented language
2011
Proceedings of the 48th Design Automation Conference on - DAC '11
Lime is a new Java-compatible and object-oriented language designed to make programming of reconfigurable hardware significantly more accessible to skilled software developers. ...
The result is a virtual machine abstraction that extends across a heterogeneous architecture comprising a CPU, FPGA, and other computational structures. ...
Conclusion This paper presents the synthesis-oriented features of Lime -a new Java-compatible language for programming hardware and software. ...

FPGA programming for the masses
2013
Communications of the ACM
ASICs implement a dedicated and fixed function and provide the best power and performance characteristics, but any functional change requires a complete (and extremely expensive) re-spinning of the circuits ...
They are closer to the hardware and can be reprogrammed. The most prominent example of a PLD is a field programmable gate array (FPGA). ...
These permit, for example, the definition of generic classes that are parameterized by bit width, polymorphic methods and overloaded operators. Lime is Java compatible and hence strongly typed. ...

pre-print
FPGA-based heterogeneous architectures provide programmers with the ability to customize their hardware accelerators for flexible acceleration of many workloads. ...
FPGA vendors and researchers attempt to improve the programmability through high-level synthesis (HLS) technologies that can directly generate hardware circuits from high-level language descriptions. ...
Lime [40] is a Java-based domain-specific language that provides several parallel patterns to improve the programmability. ...

Liquid Metal: Object-Oriented Programming Across the Hardware/Software Boundary
[chapter]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We introduce Lime, a new Object-Oriented language that can be compiled for the JVM or into a synthesizable hardware description language. ...
We detail an end-to-end system from the language down to hardware synthesis and demonstrate a Lime program running on both a conventional processor and in an FPGA. ...
We thank Bill Thies and Michael Gordon of MIT for their help with the StreamIt compiler; Stephen Neuendorffer of Xilinx for his help with the Xilinx tools and platforms. ...
