Bluespec ESL Synthesis Training Available Online; Video-Based Course Offered Free of Charge at Demos On Demand

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2006--In-depth, multimedia training showcasing Bluespec Inc.'s electronic system level (ESL) synthesis and how it is used to design complex control logic and datapath circuits is available now at: http://www.demosondemand.com/dod/proddemos/vendors/pd_bluespec.aspx.

Twelve discrete sessions, roughly 60-minutes each, led by Bluespec's Chief Technology Officer Rishiyur S. Nikhil, are offered free of charge and represent the standard training sessions that Bluespec provides customers as a basic foundation for their first designs. They are featured alongside a video-based, one-hour technical overview presentation, also led by Dr. Nikhil, of Bluespec's ESL Synthesis toolset.

"The free online program is a terrific addition to the onsite training and personalized support we provide our customers," says George Harper, Bluespec's vice president of marketing. "We've been searching for a way to scale the demands to make ESL synthesis significantly more accessible. The online training is a great answer when customers ask: What are the resources for scaling Bluespec across my organization? How can one of my designers, who missed training, quickly get up to speed?"

The training covers such ESL Synthesis topics as: rules, rule scheduling, module hierarchy and interfaces, multiple clock domains and compiling, running and debugging. Support resources include labs, downloadable PowerPoint training slides, and documentation are included. The sessions are hosted by and were co-developed with Demos On Demand (http://www.demosondemand.com).
