Can Altiums C-to-Hardware Compiler convert any C source function into a hardware circuit?
It is important to understand that while virtually all C programs can be converted to an electronic circuit by the C-to-Hardware Compiler, it is the characteristics of a source function that ultimately determines whether the Compiler can create an efficient hardware component, or whether it is better to execute that function on a processor core. The Compiler can only create a small and fast electronic circuit if the C source code is parallelizable.
