High-level synthesis, C versus assembly code, and Leibson’s Law
Years ago, when I was Editor-in-Chief of EDN Magazine, I coined (but did not name) Leibson’s Law: “It takes 10 years for any disruptive technology to become pervasive in the design community.” I was reminded of that observation while reading … Continue reading

Xilinx Vivado Design Suite brings SoC design style to advanced-node FPGA development
In a complete overhaul of its FPGA design tools, Xilinx has just announced the Vivado Design Suite for its current-generation 7 Series FPGAs (including the Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform) and future FPGA generations. With this design-tool release, Xilinx is acknowledging … Continue reading
System EDA tools attack today’s great bugaboo for SoC Realization: The Software Development Overhang
Today at the North American System C Users Group (NASCUG) meeting in San Jose, the Cadence Group Director of Product Marketing for System Development Frank Schirrmeister gave a really great overview and value proposition for extensive use of System Development … Continue reading
IEEE Computer Society Lecture—Creating System-On-Chips: Mixing HW & SW Successfully
As soon as we started to incorporate processors on ASICs, thus instantly creating SoCs, hardware/software integration issues became fully intertwined with chip design. Today, we routinely put a dozen or more firmware-driven processing elements on our SoCs so the issues … Continue reading
Latest version of SystemC, IEEE 1666-2011, now supports TLM 2.0
Chocolate and peanut butter go together. So do SystemC and transaction-level modeling. Just not officially. Until now. Earlier this month, the IEEE Standards Board approved a revision to the IEEE 1666 SystemC standard to bring the widely used OSCI (Open … Continue reading
