Bluespec Executives to Offer Keynote Presentations during Electronic System Level Design Workshop 2006; Panel to Debate Acceptance of ESL Design Features Bluespec's CEO Shiv Tasker.WALTHAM, Mass. -- Bluespec continues its high profile in India in 2006 as its executives present keynote presentations at the Electronic System Level Design Workshop 2006 to be held January 9-10 in Bangalore. Bluespec Founder Professor Arvind of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at Cambridge; coeducational; chartered 1861, opened 1865 in Boston, moved 1916. It has long been recognized as an outstanding technological institute and its Sloan School of Management has notable programs in business, will discuss "How Future Systems may be Designed" as the opening keynote January 9. Rishiyur Nikhil, chief technology officer, will offer "A Technical Introduction to ESL Design with Bluespec SystemVerilog" at a keynote scheduled for January 10. Shiv shiv n. Slang A knife, razor, or other sharp or pointed implement, especially one used as a weapon. [Probably Romany chiv, blade.] Noun 1. Tasker, chief executive officer, is a featured panelist who will debate "ESL: Dream or Reality?" also to be held January 10. This week, Tasker and Nikhil presented, "Beyond RTL: Advanced Digital System Design" during the 19th International Conference on VLSI Design The International Conference on VLSI Design was started in 1985, as a small workshop at IIT Madras, under the visionary guidance of Dr. Vishwani Agrawal of Auburn University, and Prof. H.N. Mahabala of IIT Madras. (VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, LSI and ULSI.

About Bluespec Bluespec Inc. manufactures an industry standards-based Electronic Design Automation (EDA) toolset that significantly raises the level of abstraction The level of complexity by which a system is viewed. The higher the level, the less detail. The lower the level, the more detail. The highest level of abstraction is the single system itself. for hardware design while retaining the ability to automatically synthesize high-quality RTL, without compromising speed, power or area. The toolset, the only one focused on control and complex datapaths, allows ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. designers to reduce design time, bugs and re-spins that contribute to product delays and escalating costs.
