Synthetic operating systems might mean never having to port software again. Software can be automatically generated-synthesized-to meet the demands of a changing system. For decades hardware design ...

With the advent of advanced HDLs – such as SystemVerilog – that provide new and powerful language constructs, current hardware modeling styles can now be enhanced both in terms of abstraction level ...

Technology Editor Bill Wong talks with Rob Dekker about EDA, synthesis, parsers, and elaborators and why focusing on core competency is a recipe for success. Rob Dekker is CTO and Founder of Verific ...

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a user-programmable piece of silicon constructed in very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology. The VLSI transistor-level detail is absolutely predefined ...

As discussed in Part 1, this article proposes four steps to raise the abstraction level of current Verilog HDL designs and provide a phase wise approach to migrate to SystemVerilog. In Part 1 we ...
