DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

Spectrum is the only major hardware language that supports both algorithmic and process-level behavior in the same language. Both levels of design are seamlessly integrated, allowing the user to decide which level of abstraction is appropriate for a given portion of the design. Spectrum excels in control-dominated designs with an algorithm scheduler that maximizes performance. This makes it perfect for performance-constrained design specifications. Spectrum is an object-ori

Purpose: Enable hardware and software engineers and developers to discover and create innovative computer hardware and software, advancing computing technology and improving the lives of people throughout the world. Vision: Modern technology products are powered by one or more software and hardware systems at their core. Because of the critical importance of such systems to modern technology products, the speed at which such systems can be developed can mean the success or

Our customers seek a more efficient and effective way of designing and coding their descriptions of digital hardware targeting FPGAs and ASICs. With the higher level of abstraction provided by the Spectrum language, customers can see faster time-to-market product development. We will soon be releasing an early version of the Spectrum compiler that generates VHDL which can then be processed with tools such as Altera's Quartus Prime and AMD's Vivado tools. In later releases, we

For FPGA developers: Who are dissatisfied with existing RTL design using Verilog and VHDL synthesis subsets which are too low-level, too slow and difficult to use and verify; with existing HLS approaches whose products are expensive, only work for a very limited range of applications, are difficult to understand and use, only synthesize IP components and not complete systems, and generate difficult-to-verify Verilog/VHDL; and with FPGA-ASIC conversion difficulties in movin
