Process of automatically translating an extended activity diagram into a hardware component graph

摘要

A process of automatically translating an extended activity diagram (EAD) into a hardware component graph (HCG). For translating the high level programming language into a Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL), the high level programming language is first translated into an activity diagram (AD), then the AD is translated into an HCG, which can indicate a connection relation between hardware components, and finally corresponding HDL codes are generated according to the HCG
