Power-efficient Design with Catapult C

Details

Overview

As if it wasn’t difficult enough to deliver area and performance optimized RTL on time, the hardware designer’s job got even more complicated with the increasing pressure to make this RTL power-efficient. This webinar presents how design teams can gear up with High-Level Synthesis (HLS) to successfully close on not only timing and area goals, but also on power requirements.
