WALTHAM, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 17, 2006—
Bluespec Inc., developer of the only ESL synthesis
toolset for control logic and complex datapaths in chip design, has
joined The SPIRIT Consortium with the goal to advance interoperability
standards for intellectual property (IP) reuse in system-on-chip (SoC)
design.
Bluespec's decision to become a member of The SPIRIT Consortium, a
global organization focused on establishing multi-faceted IP/tool
integration standards that drive sustainable growth in electronic
design, was due to The Consortium's design reuse standardization
efforts. "We're active promoters of design reuse and
interoperability," says George Harper, Bluespec's vice president of
marketing, who notes that its underlying synthesis technology
automates many aspects of reuse. "We are eager to contribute our
expertise to The SPIRIT Consortium."
Adds Ralph von Vignau, chairman of The SPIRIT Consortium: "The
Consortium welcomes Bluespec. Their understanding of the flow from ESL
design to implementation will be helpful to the Consortium as we
extend our current specification to cover comprehensive
interoperability between tools and support of ESL."

power or area. The toolset, the only one focused on control and
complex datapaths, allows ASIC and FPGA designers to reduce design
time, bugs and re-spins that contribute to product delays and
escalating costs. More information can be found on www.bluespec.com or
