FPGA DESIGNERS SEE SOME OF EDA'S BEST WORK IN 2007

摘要

With so many designers making FPGAs their implementation vehicle of choice these days, it's inevitable that some of EDA's brightest minds would turn their attention to tools and methodologies targeted at getting the most out of these ever-more-capable devices. One of the more interesting launches was from GateRocket, a startup that has seen FPGAs rise in size and complexity to ASIC-like levels. With that evolution comes a host of ASIC-like verification issues. For FPGA designers, just as for ASIC designers, simulation is too slow.
