Logic synthesis tools also allows for technology independent designs. Logic synthesis technology was commercialized around 2004, and since then it’s been part of the standard EDA tool chain for ASICs ...

The notions of logic synthesis can be traced back to the early 1970s and work conducted at IBM called Logic Synthesis System (LSS). This was a rule-based transformation system. These looked for ...

One way of supporting customization is to augment an instruction processor with programmable logic for implementing custom instructions. Several vendors are offering a route to such implementations.

In adding synthesis of this sort of reactive inter-block control logic, the challenge for Mentor was to determine how to maintain the abstraction benefits of C++ while permitting users to specify ...
