Mentor Graphics Catapult C Synthesis 2008 license crack

Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) announced that Fujitsu Limited has adopted the Catapult® C Synthesis tool to its standard ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) design kit. A number of electronic system level (ESL) synthesis tools were assessed in order to meet Fujitsu’s stringent requirements for quality standards. As a result, the Catapult C Synthesis tool was selected after exhaustive tests, and deployed for current design projects, which include two tapeouts in the last few months.
Mentor offers total support for an electronic system level (ESL) hardware design solution. Catapult C Synthesis inputs pure ANSI C++ code and automatically generates RTL targeted to FPGA or ASIC technologies. Pioneer's designers report that the Catapult C Synthesis tool helps them achieve optimal architecture and create the best implementation in terms of latency, power consumption and size. For verification, Pioneer's designers can use the Catapult C tool's SystemC verification extension, which allows them to reuse the original C++ testbench to run RTL simulation using Mentor Graphics' ModelSim{reg} verification tool. By using Mentor's FPGA logic synthesis tool, Precision RTL Synthesis, Pioneer engineers can create an FPGA implementation without timing violation and also verify and measure performance of the final implementation.
Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced its Catapult(TM) C Synthesis product, the only algorithmic synthesis tool that uses pure, untimed C++ to create quality register transfer level (RTL) descriptions up to 20 times faster than traditional manual methods. With the Catapult C Synthesis tool, hardware designers can significantly reduce RTL implementation time, improve design flow reliability and shrink hardware size. The Catapult C Synthesis tool targets designers developing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for next-generation, compute-intensive applications such as wireless communication, satellite communication and video/image processing.

By uniting system-level and hardware design, the Catapult C Synthesis tool combines with the Mentor Graphics(R) ModelSim(R) simulator to create the central foundation for a C-based design flow.
