An ESL Methodology for Functional Verification between Untimed C++ and RTL using SystemC
Many RTL designs are developed from C++ algorithms that have been extensively tested using a C++ testbench.
The C++ testbench often represents a huge engineering effort to provide as much coverage of the algorithm as possible.
Once the algorithm has been synthesized to RTL, however, a new testbench is typically written instead of using the original C++ testbench.
This creates a discontinuity between the verification performed on the...

Creating a Consistent Verification Environment from Algorithm to RTL
Hardware implementations of DSP designs typically start out as algorithms modeled in tools like Matlab(tm). Such tools provide a natural representation of the algorithm and an extensive collection of building blocks used to analyze algorithm performance, both quantitatively (S/N, BER, quantization errors, etc) and qualitatively (spectrum displays, processed image viewing, etc). They can also provide a quantitative analysis of possible fixed...

Physically Aware Synthesis
Traditional physical synthesis techniques rely on lengthy place-and-route iterations to achieve good quality of results (QoR). Newer routing-centric approaches suffer from very long run times and limited device support while post-placement-centric physical synthesis provides only limited QoR improvements.
To address these issues, a unique and innovative pre-place-and-route, physically-aware synthesis based on the concept of statistical...

RTL Analysis and Creation using Spreadsheets
Today millions of users depend on spreadsheets, the most popular being Microsoft Excel, to organize, manage, analyze, model and generate numerical and text data.
Spreadsheets are now making their way into hardware design.
This paper covers the details of using the Interface Based Design (IBD) editor provided by Mentor Graphics HDL Designer Series(tm) to develop spreadsheets for hardware design.
