\section{Conclusion}

\vericert{} is the first fully mechanised proof of correctness for HLS, translating C into Verilog.  However, to make the tool more usable there are many more optimisations that could be implemented to get the performance closer to \legup{}.  The main optimisation that should be performed is scheduling operations into the same clock cycle, so that these can run in parallel.  In addition to that, another issue that \vericert{} faces is that \compcert{}'s 3AC uses many different registers, even if these are not anymore later on.  It would therefore be useful to have a register allocation algorithm that could ensure that registers could be reused appropriately.  Finally, another optimisation would be to support resource sharing to reduce the area that the final design uses.
