ESL

An increasingly important concept in design is that of product creation. An approach based on product creation looks beyond chip or board design.

This case study shows how the evaluation of various design options requires a thorough approach to system-level modeling.

The business case behind how virtual prototyping speeds development, improves hardware and software quality, and improves ROI.

Overcome the time and visibility limitations of simulation and of gate-level and RTL-based strategies to achieve full-chip analysis.

How Xilinx' Vivado HLS enabled the creation of an in-fabric, processor-free UDP network packet engine

The FPGA vendor's new flagship is now on public release. It adds an array of features, including support for system-level to HDL synthesis.

The technique enables early software development and hardware/software co-design strategies before a project is more rigidly defined in RTL.

Carbon Design Systems' CTO Bill Neifert argues that his company's deal with Samsung sends a clear signal, whether or not you're one of his customers.

How SystemC enables system modelling at higher levels of abstraction, and the creation of virtual platforms.

An evolved ESL-to-RTL methodology flow addresses the ‘discipline gaps’ between software and hardware engineering by using three system level-based software-hardware verification steps. The strategy is already available in TSMC’s Reference Flow 12.
