The complexity of compute-intensive applications is driving the move to system design at the algorithmic level. With the release of the Catapult C synthesis tool, Mentor Graphics now offers the core ...

Thanks to a fast, built-in synthesis engine, Atrenta's SpyGlass 3.0 predictive-analysis tool detects very complex structural problems in register transfer level (RTL) code that would otherwise only ...

“Golden” RTL code has been seen as a holy grail of IC design for many years. It promises to deliver code that is reusable in future designs. However, golden RTL is very difficult to achieve. Too many ...
