Hey folks, John Cooley’s posted on deepchip.com Part 2 of his IC verification census, which features data indicating that SystemC use is decreasing while SystemVerilog use is increasing and that ...

Since its debut in 2004, the current generation of high-level synthesis (HLS) tools has made tremendous progress in terms of both quality of results (QoR) and wider applicability. The success of this ...

An ever increasing demand for execution speed and communication bandwidth has made the multi-processor SoCs a common design trend in today’s computation and communication architectures. Design and ...

High-level design (HLD) represents a hardware design at a more abstract level than register transfer level (RTL). A high-level synthesis (HLS) tool then can be used to produce the RTL necessary to ...

Brett Cline, senior vice president at OneSpin Solutions, explains how adding formal verification into the high-level synthesis flow can reduce the time spent in optimization and debug by about ...

With a new version 2.1 and its emphasis on transaction-level modeling, SystemC is finding its role as the glue that binds architectural analysis and the RTL implementation world. When the SystemC ...

System design is hard. That should not come as a surprise to anyone these days. With design geometries shrinking and device complexity on the rise, this fact is not likely to change anytime soon. One ...

Virtual prototyping platforms provide fast, fully functional software models and enable software engineers to develop production quality code much before the hardware can arrive in the lab. In theory, ...
