You work in an environment where demanding design goals and aggressive project schedules go hand-in-hand with the push to get more complex products to market faster. And you have just finalized the ...
Chip synthesis is a new approach to turning register transfer level (RTL) code into gates a whole chip at a time. Traditional synthesis is coming apart at the seams, especially for designs larger than ...
Traditionally RTL power analysis has been used to understand the design power consumption so that package and power supply designs can start, and designers can then fix any power regression violations ...
True or false: ASIC design follows a very straightforward path that begins with high-level architectural definition. It proceeds through RTL design and preliminary floorplanning. After synthesis, the ...
HARDWARE DESIGN is a process of refining an idea from a highly abstract form to a concrete, physical implementation. Along the way, a design is continually transformed from a given state of ...
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Oct. 12, 2009 -- Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today introduced its Synphony HLS ...
Mentor Graphics has acquired certain assets of Oasys Design Systems, which supplies the Oasys RealTime RTL physical synthesis platform for complex SoCs, ASICs, and IP blocks. The Oasys team led by its ...
The “shift left” of the development cycle is critical for the huge, complex chips used in such applications as AI and high-performance computing (HPC). Identifying design issues at the netlist stage ...
New design languages and new chips and systems mean a whole new set of design gotchas for today's developers. Once-simple tasks become difficult and, thankfully, once-difficult tasks become easy. This ...
