A well thought out design flow for SoCs ensures that the resulting device meets the requirement of low power dissipation. To meet these goals at the device level, individual modules (or components of ...
“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 ...
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 ...
Achieves up to 75 percent power savings in critical semiconductor blocks; significantly reduces development costs and design risk OLDENBURG, Germany and SAN JOSE, Calif. -- May 15, 2007 -- ChipVision ...
Running quality tests and regression at RTL level, and even fixing all discovered design bugs does not guarantee the flawless hardware design. To make sure there are no bugs in the target hardware, ...
Traditionally, formal verification is used after the fact for bug hunting or design-rule checking. It has yet to be applied up front, where it would affect design decisions at the RTL coding stage.
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 ...
