Celoxica Joins Synopsys in-Sync Program for Verification And Implementation
System-level and Custom IP Designers Benefit From Flow Development
Connecting Celoxica's Suite of ESL Design Tools
to the Synopsys Design Compiler Family
ABINGDON, England—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 20, 2005—
Celoxica, a leading provider of C-based design and synthesis
solutions, today announced design flow development through the
Synopsys(R) (Nasdaq:SNPS) in-Sync(R) program. This development
formalizes the interoperability between Celoxica's Agility Compiler
and DK Design Suite with the Design Compiler(R) synthesis solution
from Synopsys, Inc.
Celoxica's design tools for system level co-design and the rapid
development of custom intellectual property cores from C-algorithms,
enable designers to retain their single source C files through design
exploration, verification and implementation. Celoxica's ESL approach
provides the capability for the automatic generation and synthesis of
IEEE compliant RT level VHDL, Verilog and FPGA netlists from ANSI-C or
SystemC algorithmic descriptions.
"Celoxica's tools have become a distinctive part of the ASIC/SoC
design flow, now that it connects to the leading hardware
implementation flow," said Jeff Jussel, vice president of Marketing
for Celoxica. "Linking the Celoxica ESL tools to Synopsys' Design
Compiler tools is an important step in realizing the full potential of
ESL design."
The development and verification of tool interoperability is being
managed through the Synopsys in-Sync program. The initial focus is the
optimization of RTL generated from Celoxica's tools for Design
Compiler tools.
"For years Synopsys has initiated programs of its own and worked
with standards bodies and industry organizations to advance tool
interoperability throughout the electronic design automation
industry," said Karen Bartleson, director of Interoperability at
Synopsys, Inc. "Through the in-Sync interoperability program, Synopsys
enables EDA vendors to identify and implement interoperable design
flows that maximize the productivity of our mutual customers."
