</p>
</h1>

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

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

## Installation

### Quick
If you want to try out the compiler, install it using `cargo`:
```
cargo install calyx
```

This will install the `calyx` binary can optimize and compile Calyx programs to Verilog or [CIRCT][].

### Recommended

Follow the [getting started][docs] instructions.

## Organization

This repository contains the source code for the following:
* [`calyx-utils`][]: Utilities for the Calyx compiler
* [`calyx-frontend`][]: Parser and frontend AST for the Calyx language.
* [`calyx-ir`][]: The Calyx intermediate language.
* [`calyx-opt`][]: Optimizations for the Calyx intermediate language.
* [`calyx`][]: The Calyx compiler driver.

You can also use the Calyx compiler as a library and implement your own optimizations. To do this, [check out the example][opt-example] provided by the [`calyx-opt`][] crate.
