Crossing the Gap between Algorithm and Hardware Implementation (CHALK TALK)

In this webcast Amelia Dalton will chat with Stuart Clubb of Mentor Graphics about how C++ and Catapult C Synthesis can accelerate the design, implementation, and verification of complex system-level algorithms. In this webcast, you will learn about modeling techniques for representing bit-accurate arithmetic in C++ using Mentor Graphics' "Algorithmic C" data types.

Generating Functionally Equivalent FPGAs and ASICs With a Single Set of RTL and Synthesis/Timing Constraints (WHITE PAPER)

Electronic systems designers use FPGAs for their prototype implementations, taking advantage of the devices’ reprogrammability to validate hardware and software. Once the design is ready for volume production, designers are finding that certain types of ASICs—specifically, ASICs with a silicon platform and toolset that enable concurrent design with the FPGA, using identical I/Os, memory resources, and IP—help them meet power, performance, and cost targets.

ZeBu™: A Unified Verification Approach for Hardware Designers and Embedded Software Developers (WHITE PAPER)

Moore’s law continues to drive both chip complexity and performance to new highs every year, and continues to stress and periodically “break” existing design flows. Fortunately for EDA users, the same shrinking geometries that make their design problems tougher are also helping to improve the performance for their EDA tools.
