Working behind the scenes, here's what Pallab Chatterjee, Cliff Cummings, Stu Sutherland and I (plus a dozen other anonymous EDA users) thought were the best frontend and backend tools at the recent DAC 2006. Enjoy.   - John Cooley Related DOD Categories Front End Tools Back End Tools               Cadence Cadence Precision Router (CPR) Mentor Graphics Mentor Calibre nmDRC Synopsys Synopsys PrimeYield Magma DA Magma Talus Sierra DA Sierra Olympus Extreme DA Vs.

Learn how HiPer Silicon can help you increase productivity and speed your design concept to silicon.   Diamond Standard Series Software Toolchain Category: Front End - Design Entry; Embedded Systems; Intellectual Property - Development Tools This demo highlights the easy-to-use software development tools for Tensilica’s Diamond Standard family of processor cores, a set of six off-the-shelf synthesizable cores that range from area-efficient, low-power controllers to high-performance DSPs. The Diamond Standard Processor software development tools include a complete compiler toolchain, instruction set simulator, performance analysis tools and project management tools.   Bluespec ESL Synthesis Category: Front End - ESL/Architectural Design, Design Synthesis The Bluespec toolset, the only ESL synthesis solution for control logic and complex datapaths, significantly accelerates hardware design and reduces verification costs. Bluespec presents hardware designers an exciting new way to implement a design with correct-by-construction control logic synthesis while retaining full control over the architecture and performance of the design.   ZeBu: The Fastest Verification Category: Front End - Functional Verification - Emulation, Acceleration, HW/SW CoDesign/ Verification ZeBu is an advanced hardware-assisted verification platform that combines the best aspects of traditional emulation and rapid prototyping systems into a single, unified environment for both ASIC/SoC debugging and embedded software validation. With the high capacity, easy setup and debugging associated with emulation, and the price/ performance of rapid prototyping, EVE enables both hardware designers and software developers to collaborate on a common design representation.
