The ADAM synthesis system consists of two major subsystems: the program tools which synthesize RTL designs from behavioral descriptions and the prediction tools which guide the designer in exploring the design space for a good design. In this paper, we demonstrate the necessity for predictions in narrowing the search space. With the aid of an example, we describe the interaction of a designer with the two subsystems in designing an RTL implementation which maximizes performance while meeting a given area constraint.
