The survey by Nane et al. \[1\] goes over some of the optimsations that
are present in high-level synthesis tools, and that are important to
make them efficient and usable.

Some of the optimisations are

-   scheduling ([\#1c1], [\#1c2], [\#1c3]),
-   operation chaining ([\#1c4]),
-   register allocation ([\#1c5]),
-   bitwidth analysis and optimisation,
-   memory space allocation,
-   loop optimisations: polyhedral analysis ([\#1c7]),
-   hardware resource library,
-   speculation and code motion: loop pipelining ([\#1c6]),
-   exploiting spatial parallelism, and
-   if-conversion ([\#1c8]).
