Bluespec's SystemC Synthesis and Low-Power Technology on Display During 43rd DAC

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2006--BLUESPEC'S SYSTEMC SYNTHESIS AND LOW-POWER TECHNOLOGY ON DISPLAY DURING 43RD DAC

Bluespec Inc. will exhibit its electronic system level (ESL) synthesis software, including newly introduced SystemC-based ESEComp, in booth #4163 during the 43rd Design Automation Conference (DAC) July 24-27 at San Francisco's Moscone Center.

SystemC Synthesis

ESEComp synthesizes SystemC designs into Verilog register transfer level (RTL) code providing the first integrated modeling, verification and design implementation SystemC flow for control logic and complex datapaths. It moves SystemC from being just another transaction level modeling (TLM) language with almost no ties to RTL (except algorithmic synthesis) to an accurate modeling language with full hardware architecture and implementation support.

Low Power Technology

Through private meetings, Bluespec will preview low-power technology that performs fine-grained, dynamic optimization. This new technology leverages the unique insight and control over cycle-by-cycle scheduling provided by Bluespec ESL synthesis.

Bluespec will also exhibit an 802.11a transmitter design optimized for low power through rapid micro-architectural exploration. The final design only draws four milliwatts and highlights a combined Bluespec-Sequence Design flow. The seven different candidate micro-architectures explored only took five man-days to implement.

For more details or to schedule a demonstration or private meeting, contact George Harper, vice president of Bluespec, who can be reached at (781) 250-2200 or via email at george.harper@bluespec.com.

About Bluespec

Bluespec Inc. manufactures an industry standards-based Electronic Design Automation (EDA) toolset that significantly raises the level of abstraction for hardware design while retaining the ability to automatically synthesize high-quality RTL, without compromising speed, power or area. The toolset, the only one focused on control and complex datapaths, allows ASIC and FPGA designers to reduce design time, bugs and re-spins that contribute to product delays and escalating costs.
