San Diego, CA - DAC 2007 - Bluespec exhibited at DAC in booth 6963.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007, at 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM in Room: 6A, Rishiyur S. Nikhil, Bluespec's CTO, spoke on a panel entitled: "TLM: Crossing Over From Buzz to Adoption".

At our booth, we showed the following:

•  BluDACu - please come by the booth to see, learn and receive a giveaway.

•  A HW/SW co-emulation on an EVE emulation platform leveraging Bluespec synthesizable transactors, models and designs communicating with host-based software. The hardware system is built around an AXI bus implementation, with different models and implementations connected to the host with transactors.

April 16-20, 2007      

Nice, France - DATE 2007 - Bluespec exhibited at DATE in booth R38 (Rhodes Level 2).

At our booth, we showed the following:

•  An FPGA demonstration of an H.264 video decoder that was designed in only nine man-months – and was designed with half the lines of code of a pure C-based implementation.
•  A HW/SW co-simulation on an EVE emulation/acceleration platform leveraging Bluespec synthesizable transactors, models and designs communicating with host-based software. The hardware system is built around an AXI switch implementation, with different models and implementations connected to the host with transactors.
