SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Fujitsu
Kansai-Chubu Net-Tech Limited (KCN) utilized the Cadence®
C-to-Silicon Compiler to shorten turnaround time by 40 percent
compared to its traditional RTL process for a complex 100G
transport system design.
KCN used the SystemC-based design approach for the transport
system pipelines, reducing code size by more than half, and used
the C-to-Silicon Compiler high-level synthesis for quick iterations
to tune the functional specification and generate the optimized RTL
implementation. By changing the design constraints to the
C-to-Silicon Compiler, KCN was able to explore different
micro-architectures and significantly reduced the place-and-route
turnaround time. Fixing a place-and-route issue with traditional
RTL design at Fujitsu took three days, but only half a day with the
C-to-Silicon Compiler.
"Our highly integrated 100Gbps transport systems operate at very
high frequency, which presented a major design challenge," said Mr.
Masao Nakano, design engineer,
Device Development Department, Network Products Division, Fujitsu
Kansai-Chubu Net-Tech. "By designing at a higher level of
abstraction in SystemC, our design team was able to implement the
customized hardware much more quickly and effectively."
