A Compiler Infrastructure for Accelerator Generators

Calyx is an intermediate language and infrastructure for building compilers that generate custom hardware accelerators.

See the Calyx website, language documentation and the documentation for the source code for more information. Calyx's design is based on our paper.

The calyx crate contains the Rust implementation of the intermediate representation, the compiler passes, and a frontend to parse source programs into the intermediate representation.

If you'd like try out the compiler infrastructure, take a look at the futil crate instead.
