We have been a leading provider of SoC integration tools for large-scale designs for years. Most major semiconductor companies already use our solutions, and several customers will be presenting how they leverage the Defacto solution (SoC Compiler) at the upcoming DAC conference.
This year, we are announcing a major release of our tool: SoC Compiler 11.0. SemiWiki just blogged about it [check it out here].
This new version reaches a new level of automation. Our tool can now interoperate with IP configuration tools and auto-connect IPs to generate a complete SoC ready for both simulation and logic synthesis in minutes. Format complexity isn't an issue for our SoC Compiler, since it can digest and generate RTL (System Verilog, Verilog & VHDL), IP-XACT, UPF, and SDC formats.
With this major release, IP-XACT users will find compelling reasons to migrate to Defacto. Our tool has reached a production level of maturity while covering all essential IP-XACT mechanisms including packaging, querying, linting, checking, assembling, editing using TGI, and reporting (memory maps, registers, etc.) - all while maintaining a strong link with RTL.
Another key differentiator of our tool is physical awareness of the generated RTL, pre-synthesis. Specifically, our software can capture physical requirements to improve PPA by providing design refactoring and restructuring capabilities.
With this major release, we demonstrate that very complex design hierarchy manipulations can be performed incredibly quickly.
At this year's DAC, we'll be presenting a poster jointly with Arm on Monday, June 23, where Arm will explain how they restructured an 18,000-instance design with millions of connections and multiple hierarchy levels in less than an hour.
We've even been selected to participate in the DAC Poster Gladiator competition (also on Monday, June 23). The presentation title is: A New Methodology to Generate Multiple SoC Configurations Quickly
Last but not least, we are unveiling AI-based capabilities at this DAC. We've built an AI assistant to help with tool usage, and more importantly, assist Defacto users to easily generate Tcl and Python scripts. We'll be providing live demonstrations at our booth.
You should definitely stop by our booth on the first floor (booth #1527). We have delicious French chocolates to sample.
How do you find us at DAC? We typically have a giant ball floating above our booth. You can't miss it on the first floor.
Make sure to contact us to schedule a meeting at our booth. Hope to see you there!
