SAN MATEO, Calif. — Claiming to have a full RTL-to-GDSII design flow at last, Monterey Design Systems has added logic synthesis to its Dolphin placement and routing system. The Dolphin-RTL synthesis ...

Companies designing new system-on-chip (SoC) products are subject to ongoing market pressure to do more with less and achieve higher returns. The result is shrinking engineering teams, reduced design ...

When you think about it, logic synthesis is a vital but rather intimidating part of modern chip design. This process takes a high-level description of intended functionality, written in an RTL ...

So you have an algorithm or a compute-intensive function you want to implement in hardware. Does that mean you have to go through the traditional ASIC design flow, writing register-transfer-level VHDL ...
