CompuFlow is developing FlowBench, a hardware development toolchain for the rapid and predictable creation of deeply pipelined streaming architectures. By combining modern programming language features with a deliberate focus on compute-intensive problems, FlowBench raises the level of abstraction without sacrificing implementation quality or architectural control.
FlowBench is a system-level hardware generation toolchain for compute-intensive streaming workloads. Developers describe the intended implementation in C++, which FlowBench maps into a static dataflow graph for scheduling and optimisation.
The architecture remains defined by the designer, preserving a transparent relationship between source code and generated hardware.
