Is it time to start using high-level synthesis?
May 3, 2010
One big question people have about high-level synthesis (HLS) is whether or not it is ready for mainstream use. In other words, does it really work (yet)? HLS has had a long history starting with products like Synopsys’s Behavioral Compiler and Cadence’s Visual Architect which never achieved any serious adoption. Then there was a next generation with companies like Synfora, Forte and Mentor’s Catapult. More recently still AutoESL and Cadence’s CtoSilicon.
I met Atul, CEO of AutoESL, last week and he gave me a copy of an interesting report that they had commissioned from Berkeley Design Technology (BDT) who set out to answer the question “does it work?” at least for the AutoESL product, AutoPilot.
