A Step-By-Step Methodical Approach for Efficient Mixed-Language IP Integration

This article provides a comprehensive methodology that highlights the best practices for mixed-language design integration and automatically comes up with an option for designers to select the optimal method for integration.

There are broadly five ways of making mixed-language connections. Pros and cons of each of these approaches and their comparison is described in terms of the usage scenarios, performance implications of using one versus the other, delta cycle value update concerns, and more. A step-by-step guideline based on decision-making trees that designers can follow to help them decide which approach best suits their particular mixed-language integration scenario is also discussed.
