Catapult C Synthesis – Adds SystemC, Expands Full-Chip Capabilities

Full-Chip High-Level Synthesis with SystemC

Catapult C is the first high-level synthesis solution offering combined support for both SystemC and ANSI C++ input sources.

With Catapult C, designers can rely on standards and choose the most appropriate language and abstraction for their design needs.

Catapult C is the industry's choice for high-level synthesis and has been recognized as the market leader by Gary Smith EDA for 3 years in a row.

New in Catapult C

• Synthesizes SystemC input sources
• Supports cycle-accurate coding style for fine-grain control over design results
• Supports transaction-level modeling and ESL flows
• Supports complex buses and SoC interconnects
• Reads in legacy synthesizable SystemC IP descriptions
• Maps abstract communications to protocol-specific RTL with Interface Synthesis technology
• Integrates with Mentor Graphics’ Vista platform
