San Jose, Calif. -- June 4, 2008 -- Forte Design Systems has announced
that its Cynthesizer(tm) behavioral synthesis product has been selected for
use in Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited's ASIC reference flow.
Cynthesizer was selected after extensive testing to ensure high quality
of results.
Cynthesizer is currently being used by multiple design teams within
Fujitsu Microelectronics around the world. In addition, Fujitsu
Microelectronics' ASIC business has supported many leading edge Japanese
systems vendors in their projects which have utilized Cynthesizer to
produce IP.
"We have confirmed that the RTL code generated by Cynthesizer meets
Fujitsu Microelectronics' stringent RTL sign off requirements," said Mr.
Takashi Hasegawa, Director, ESL and Verification Department, SoC Design
Engineering Division, Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited. "We evaluated a
number of electronic system level (ESL) synthesis tools and selected
Forte Cynthesizer to be a part of our design flow. Our customers, both
internal and external to Fujitsu Microelectronics, now have a standard
production ESL ASIC flow from SystemC."
"Fujitsu Microelectronics is continuing to take the lead in the ASIC
market by strongly supporting their customers in their shift to high
level design," said Sean Dart, president and CEO of Forte Design
Systems. "Fujitsu Microelectronics' customers will be able to improve
both their time to market and design quality by incorporating
Cynthesizer and SystemC in their ASIC flows."
Forte's advanced SystemC synthesis technology delivers production
quality RTL in one tenth the time and eliminates downstream timing
closure problems. Cynthesizer uses a high-level SystemC description to
give designers the ability to build designs with custom interfaces and
challenging architectural requirements. Cynthesizer can automatically
retarget designs to new speeds and process technologies without code
changes and supports a level of reuse that is impossible at the RT
level. Cynthesizer is the practical, silicon-proven high-level synthesis
solution you have been waiting for.
Forte Design Systems is a leading provider of software products that
enable design at a higher level of abstraction. Forte's innovative
high-level synthesis technology allows design teams creating complex
electronic systems from algorithmic designs using ASICs, FPGAs, and SoCs
to significantly reduce their overall design and verification time.
Forte is headquartered at 100 Century Center Court, San Jose, CA 95112.
