HiHope : A higher level language for the HoMade processor

HiHope is a programming language inspired by Forth used to program the HoMade processor. It includes lan- guage constructs for switching at runtime between hardware functions (implemented by IPs) and software functions in a transparent way. We also propose the notion of parallel function language construct. As a result, HiHope programs can use either hardware IPs or software functions, and can perform both sequential and parallel function calls, as well as sequential and parallel function redefinitions.
