TECHNOLOGY
  TotalRecall Full Visibility Technology
Category: Front End - FV-Emulation
This whiteboard demonstrates the revolutionary new TotalRecall technology which enables you to debug and verify ASIC/SOC designs, ASSPs, and FPGAs at real hardware speed with full signal and state visibility.
 
  The Move to Physical Synthesis
Category: Front End - Design Synthesis;
Back End - Physical Synthesis
In this whiteboard discussion, Ken McElvain, Synplicity's founder and CTO, discusses the evolution of modern FPGAs to their present 65 nanometer form and what the implications are for the design of FPGAs in the future.
 
  True DSP Synthesis
Category: Front End - ESL/Architectual Design,
Design Synthesis
This whiteboard discussion introduces the concept of True DSP synthesis and how it is different from other methods of going from DSP algorithm to RTL code for hardware implementation. This discussion covers topics including design languages, the importance of a technology-independent flow, and automatic application of DSP
synthesis optimizations.
   

 
 
Here's an interview I recently did with Ken McElvain on his transition from HP lackey to Mentor R&D guy to Synplicity founder. We discussed being an Air Force brat, HP, IBM, Silicon Compilers, Autologics & Autologics II, leaving Mentor, starting Synplicity, Xilinx troubles, free vs. buy, Altera, Quicklogic, Synopsys, their IPO, his wife, CEO Gary, the Internet bubble, Structured ASICs, LSI Logic, FPGA physical synthesis, and his new unannounced "Total Recall" product.
Enjoy! - John
 
   

CONFIRMA™ ASIC/ASSP VERIFICATION PLATFORM
  The HAPS Concept
Category: Front End - Acceleration
HAPS is a modular board system that provides real-time speed, real-time debugging and full ASIC functionality for ASIC prototype designers. The system is composed of stackable multi-FPGA mother boards and one or more standard or custom-made daughter boards. Using HAPS, the ASIC prototype gives designers the same functionality and performance as the ASIC. This presentation describes the HAPS-50-series of mother boards in detail.
