BDTI High‑Level Synthesis Tool Certification Program™
High-level synthesis tools raise the level of abstraction for ASIC and FPGA designers, promising substantial productivity gains and high-quality designs. They also offer processor users the possibility of higher performance through the creation of custom processing engines. Do they deliver?
The BDTI High-Level Synthesis Tool Certification Program provides rigorous, independent evaluation of high-level synthesis tools used for FPGA design. The program evaluates quality of results and tool usability.
For engineers considering high-level synthesis tools, BDTI’s results and analysis enable better, faster decisions on whether and when to adopt such tools. For tool vendors, BDTI's standard methodology for evaluating quality-of-results and usability is a proven means to create convincing evidence of tool effectiveness—and to attract customer interest. The first set of BDTI Certified™ results for ESL vendor participants are now available. See results.
BDTI White Papers on High-Level Synthesis Tools
BDTI has authored two white papers to help design engineers and engineering managers understand the advantages and disadvantages of using high-level synthesis tools for application development with FPGAs.
An Independent Evaluation of High-Level Synthesis Tools for Xilinx FPGAs assesses the use of HLS tools with Xilinx devices.
An Independent Evaluation of The AutoESL AutoPilot High-Level Synthesis Tool presents detailed results of BDTI’s analysis of AutoESL’s AutoPilot.
