SAN JOSE, CALIF. -- February 7, 2013 -- Forte Design Systems™ today announced Hitachi Information &
Communication Engineering, Ltd., of Yokohama, Japan, has selected its Cynthesizer™ SystemC high-level
synthesis (HLS) to deploy within its LSI Logic Design Services business.
In making the selection, Hitachi Information & Communication Engineering noted its design team put
Cynthesizer through a rigorous evaluation and concluded the tool enables design at a higher level of
abstraction and helps improve over design results. Hitachi Information & Communication Engineering will
use Cynthesizer to help its customers achieve better quality of results (QoR) and improve the time-to-market
delivery of their products.
Cynthesizer is the first high-level design solution that closes the gap between electronic system level (ESL)
design and register transfer level (RTL)-to-GDSII flows. It provides a complete design environment that
includes behavioral synthesis and verification as well as FPGA prototyping and design management. It generates
production-quality RTL code using a high-level SystemC-transaction level modeling (TLM) design description as
input. Cynthesizer provides an open and customizable environment based on standard languages and application
programming interfaces (APIs).
Forte Design Systems™ is the #1 provider of electronic system-level (ESL) synthesis
software, confirmed by Gary Smith EDA, provider of market intelligence for the global Electronic
Design Automation (EDA) market. Forte's software enables design at a higher level of abstraction
and improves design results. Its innovative synthesis technologies and intellectual property
offerings allow design teams creating complex electronic chips and systems to reduce their overall
