Bluespec products are all about Building the Right Thing™. And today, that typically means building the right architecture – for power, performance, area, latency, or even time-to-market. Bluespec enables the fastest expression and exploration of architecture and microarchitecture. And, because Bluespec is 100% synthesizable, Bluespec enables the fastest evaluation of architecture.
While you’ll find a detailed list of products below, Bluespec’s products are focused in two solution areas:
- The industry’s first Synthesizable Virtual Platform and Models for SoC System & IP modeling, development and system integration
- High-level synthesis with the industry’s only hardware concurrency abstraction above RTL, with 100% architectural transparency, for synthesizable:
- Models, transactors, test benches & implementations
- Complex control, system interconnect & algorithms
| Bluespec Core Technology
|
| Product |
Description |
| Bluespec Compiler (BSC) |
Compiles a high-level model, transactor, test bench or implementation into Verilog RTL or SystemC |
| Bluespec Simulator (Bluesim) |
Simulates Bluespec designs 5X-20X faster than RTL |
| Bluespec Development Workstation (BDW) |
Provides a high-level GUI-based development environment for the design, analysis and debug of Bluespec designs |
| emVM |
Provides debug, instrumentation & co-emulation for easy emulation of synthesizable models and legacy RTL with third-party FPGA boards/emulators |
| Synthesizable Virtual Platform (SVP)
|
| Product |
Description |
| ARM9 SVP |
ARM9 ISS-based virtual platform that runs at high-speeds, integrating models & RTL in emulation |
| AHB Transactor |
Connects from TLM API on host to AHB bus in emulation (master or slave) |
| AXI Transactor |
Connects from TLM API on host to AXI switch in emulation (master or slave) |
| APB Transactor |
Connects from TLM API on host to APB bus in emulation (slave) |
| UART Transactor |
Connects console on host to UART in emulation |
| Memory Model Transactor |
Provides large, configurable memory model with storage in host or external memory. Model uses on-emulation cache for optimal performance. |
10/100/1000 Ethernet Transactor
(in development) |
Connects from TLM API on host to Ethernet interface in emulation (master or slave) |
| Custom Transactors |
BSV can be used to develop customized, highly complex transactors in a fraction of the time of hand-coded RTL |
