If you are one of the more than 2 billion smartphone users today, it is hard to imagine life without one! Breaking new frontiers, wearable smart devices and the Internet of things are the latest buzz.

As System-on-Chip (SoC) designs grow ever larger, design and verification flows are changing. A rich mix of features, increased software content, high intellectual property (IP) use and submicron ...

A significant paradigm shift in design methodology is taking place with RTL design handoff. Shrinking process nodes, increasing SoC design complexities, and tightened purse strings have made the ...

In today’s fast-paced silicon industry, hardware design is under constant pressure to innovate, iterate, and ship faster. Traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) design processes—though foundational ...

The RTL Architect product represents the industry's first physically aware RTL analysis, optimization, and signoff system built on a fast, multi-dimensional prediction engine for superior RTL handoff ...

Delivers up to 5X faster RTL convergence and up to 25% improved QoR RTL designers can rapidly get accurate insight into physical effects and actionable guidance on improving RTL Integrates with ...

This paper reports the scientific collaboration between LLR and PROSILOG. The aim of this collaboration was to show the possibility to quickly implement a system into a FPGA, using SystemC 4 as the ...

In its new Joules RTL Design Studio tool, Cadence Design Systems aims to provide users with information that will lead to a speedier register-transfer-level (RTL) design and implementation process.
