Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the
availability of the "High-level Synthesis Blue Book," by Michael
Fingeroff, technical marketing engineer in the High-level Synthesis
(HLS) group at Mentor. The "High-level Synthesis Blue Book" is a
comprehensive guide for designing hardware using C++ and is written
for hardware and system designers who are currently using, moving,
or planning to move to a high-level synthesis design environment
that lets them reduce the time to verified RTL.
The "High-level Synthesis Blue Book" explains the fundamentals
of high-level synthesis and the essential principles of C-based
hardware design, progressing from simple concepts such as
sequential logic design, to more complicated topics such as memory
architecture and hierarchical sub-system design. All the concepts
presented in the book have practical application for developing
hardware, and are illustrative independent of whether a designer is
working in pure ANSI C++ or in SystemC.
The concepts are thoroughly illustrated with numerous code
examples and rich supporting graphics of hardware and timing
diagrams. Starting from simple practical cases, the examples
ultimately translate to much larger, more complex designs typical
of today's multi-core SoC designs. Upon completion of reading the
"High-level Synthesis Blue Book," a designer should be well on the
way to becoming an expert in using high-level synthesis.
"After talking with hundreds of customers using HLS tools, and
many RTL designers wanting to move to HLS, we decided there were
obvious things we could do to help accelerate the adoption and use
of high-level synthesis technology," said Simon Bloch, vice
president and general manager, Design and Synthesis division at
Mentor. "The 'High-level Synthesis Blue Book' provides a firm
foundation for writing high-quality synthesizable C++ code
including recommendations for achieving superior quality of results
in hardware and good programming practices to ensure 'clean' code
that passes compilation, execution, and RTL/C++
co-verification."
The release of the "High-level Synthesis Blue Book" is just one
of the many activities engaged in by Mentor to help hardware
designers adopt HLS technology. Other programs include an active
HLS silicon vendor program, as demonstrated by the Catapult® C tool
support for TSMC RF 11, the certification of multiple EDA vendor
ESL flows, consulting services, extensive training, involvement in
standards and a robust university program.

About Catapult C Synthesis The Catapult C
Synthesis tool automatically generates control and algorithmic RTL
multi-block designs from pure ANSI C++ and SystemC sources. This
process empowers designers to quickly achieve fully optimized and
error-free hardware implementation. By accelerating time to
verified RTL without sacrificing quality of results, the Catapult C
tool provides the productivity boost required to tackle the design
and verification challenges of modern ASIC design. The Catapult C
tool has been recognized as the HLS market leader by Gary Smith EDA
for three years in a row.
