Intro to Catapult HLS & PowerPro RTL Low-Power Platforms

Mentor Graphics has added two exciting and highly differentiated platforms to its portfolio: the Catapult Platform for High-Level Synthesis and verification from C++ /SystemC source to high-quality, Low-Power RTL and the PowerPro Platform for RTL/GL power estimation and RTL optimization. This session introduces both platforms and why demanding customers such as Samsung, Google, NVidia, Qualcomm, ARM and more have chosen them.

What you will learn:

• Introduction the capabilities of Catapult High-Level Synthesis
• How HLS fits into design and verification flows and the applications
  it best fits
• Introduction to the capabilities of PowerPro RTL Low-Power
• Flow for how PowerPro can help the RTL designer reduce power
• Example customer case studies for both Catapult and PowerPro

Who should view:

• RTL designers interested in lowering power
• Verification engineers interested in measuring power
• Hardware architects or Managers interested in moving up to HLS
• Verification engineers interesting in improved verification
  performance with C++
