\begin{itemize}
\item We present \vericert{}, the first mechanically verified HLS tool that compiles C to Verilog. The design of \vericert{} is described in Section~\ref{sec:design}.
\item We prove \vericert{} correct w.r.t. an existing semantics for Verilog due to \citet{loow19_proof_trans_veril_devel_hol}. We describe in Section~\ref{sec:verilog} how we lightly extended this semantics to make it suitable as an HLS target. Section~\ref{sec:proof} describes the proof itself.
- \item We have conducted a performance comparison between \vericert{} and a widely-used (unverified) HLS tool called \legup{}~\cite{canis11_legup} using the PolyBench benchmarks. As described in Section~\ref{sec:evaluation}, \vericert{} generates hardware that is about 9x slower and 21x less area-efficient than that generated by \legup{}. We expect that these numbers will improve once we have extended \vericert{} with such optimisations as loop pipelining and scheduling.
