Overview

FPGA designs are growing larger and more complex. What was once a push-button operation to obtain high-quality results from FPGA synthesis and Place & Route tools now requires expert knowledge. Finding the exact combination of settings and options to use on each design can prove time consuming, with endless runs of trial and error, yet choosing the wrong settings can cause dramatic effects on your design.

What about multiple mathematical operators, memory elements, or DSP components? Each of these design elements can also be implemented differently, affecting design performance and utilization.

With a commitment to continually improve design results for each new FPGA design, Mentor Graphics’ Precision® Synthesis now includes technology to help designers find the optimal implementation strategies.

In this seminar, you’ll discover how to leverage FPGA Precision Synthesis technology to find the true potential of your design.

What You Will Learn

  • Current obstacles to achieving best results for FPGA Design
  • Mentor’s new technology for design exploration that will improve performance and utilization
