OXFORDSHIRE, United Kingdom—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 17, 2006—
Celoxica (LSE:CXA) today announced the latest release of
its Agility Compiler for SystemC synthesis supporting SystemC
prototyping and verification. The new release can generate RTL
descriptions from transaction level models (TLM) for popular ASIC/ SoC
synthesis flows and gate-level EDIF netlists for programmable logic
devices.
SystemC 2.1, now known as IEEE Std.P1666, provides a definitive
description and a precise and complete specification of the SystemC
language. Implementations can now be confidently developed with
reference to the SystemC standard with a common framework for
collaboration.
As part of Celoxica's program to improve integration of SystemC
simulation and verification with synthesis, designers can now build
simulations directly from the Agility Compiler GUI. From the same
source code files designers can verify their SystemC designs against
the OSCI reference model in a single environment.
"Fundamental to the adoption of SystemC by our customers is
standards compliance, ease-of-use and superior QoR targeting custom
hardware and high density programmable logic," said Jeff Jussel,
vice-president of worldwide marketing for Celoxica. "With the latest
release of Agility we have demonstrated our commitment and currency
with SystemC and strengthened its capabilities for prototyping,
verification and production."
Improved code management and ease-of-use is supported through RAM
inferencing and enhanced SystemC datatypes that also allow for better
quality of results from less code. Comprehensive feedback is provided
to the developer though enhanced design reporting and synthesis
analysis. Agility's Control and Dataflow Graph (CDFG) viewer allows
the designer to accurately view, analyze and understand high-level
designs, linking source code through to synthesis results and
interactively browsing a graphical representation of the design.
