Facts
Highlights
  • Easily imports source code (SystemC and ANSI-C)
  • Performs interactive synthesis
  • User controls power, area, and timing trade-offs
  • Outputs RT model and synthesis constraints
  • Closes the gap between system and implementation models
  • Outputs CPF/UPF power constraints
  • Provides robust leakage modeling strategy
  • Implements technology-driven modeling for process, temperature, voltage variations
Benefits
  • Up to 60x faster than lower-level methods
  • Greatly reduces development cost for low power applications
  • Fast implementation exploration quickly finds optimized architecture
  • Energy saving up to 75%
Input Formats
  • SystemC
