"The high-level synthesis solution that can address over 90% of the IP developed by ST's Home Entertainment Product Group."

Thierry Bauchon, R&D Director, Home Entertainment Group, STMicroelectronics

"With less than a week of training, we were able to significantly accelerate design and with much fewer bugs. I completed the design much faster than we did with the original Verilog RTL design. It fully passed our comprehensive regression suite, met timing, and had 30% fewer gates than the original.

"Providing the engineer full control of architecture through to synthesized RTL, Bluespec enables rapid exploration of different architectures to quickly obtain an optimal, functionally correct implementation.

"Bluespec is the future of design."

Senthil Krishnamoorthy, Principal Engineer, Aarohi Communications, Inc.

Products

Used by the world’s leading semiconductor and systems companies, Bluespec's silicon-proven high-level synthesis toolsets for ASICs and FPGAs enable:

• Architectural exploration and modeling -- design teams are using Bluespec for early software models and rapid architectural refinement and exploration

• Synthesizable models and testbenches -- design teams are using Bluespec to develop high-level models and testbenches that are automatically synthesized into FPGA or emulation platforms for orders of magnitude faster modeling and verification

• RTL replacement -- design teams have consistently achieved at least a 2X productivity improvement on their first projects. Bluespec delivers extreme reuse and rapid changes

Differentiating Bluespec tools from every other modeling and design solution on the market, the core enabling technology is atomic transactions, by far the single most powerful tool for managing complex concurrency.  Atomic transactions greatly simplify complex concurrency, particularly for control, improve communication between modules, and elevate the description and synthesis of control and complex datapaths.  And, while they significantly raise the level of concurrency abstraction above SystemC and RTL, they are unique in giving the engineer 100% control over architecture and micro-architecture for optimal results -- Bluespec's toolsets deliver ESL synthesis without the compromises inherent in previous solutions.

The key benefits of Bluespec are as follows:

• Early, synthesizable models and testbenches for software, architectural analysis, and verification. Bluespec provides a single environment for models, testbenches and implementations.
• More concise, efficient designs backed by comprehensive static verification for significantly reduced verification efforts
• Rapid changes, throughout the design cycle
• Extreme IP reuse with control-adaptive parameterization
• High-quality RTL generation, without compromise

Bluespec delivers atomic transactions in the following environment:

• Bluespec SystemVerilog(BSV) - Bluespec's flagship product is a single environment for modeling, verification and implementation.
