Bluespec Executives to Participate This Week in DesignCon Tutorial Session, Management Forum.WALTHAM, Mass. -- Tutorial Will Highlight New Technologies, Advanced Techniques for IC Design; Panel Will Debate On-Line Marketing Strategies Bluespec's Chief Technology Officer Rishiyur Nikhil will present a TechForum tutorial titled, "Beyond RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; : Advanced Digital System Design" today (February 6) during DesignCon 2006 at the Santa Clara Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. Convention Center, Santa Clara, Calif. This tutorial will introduce new technologies and advanced techniques to cope with the complexity of designing modern digital chips that are complete systems containing multiple processors, complex intellectual property (IP) blocks and high-speed buses and interconnection networks. Nikhil presented a similar tutorial to a standing room crowd 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. (2) (VLSI Technology, Inc., Tempe, AZ, www.semiconductors. 2006) in January in India. George Harper, Bluespec's vice president of marketing, will participate in a Management Forum Panel February 8 called, "Make Technical On-Line Marketing Truly Technical -- From Tactics to Strategy: What Works and What Doesn't?" Bluespec Compiler and Simulator toolset is a finalist in the 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 IC Design Tools category of this year's DesignVision Awards, sponsored by the International Engineering Consortium and the 2006 DesignCon Team. Winners will be announced February 7 at DesignCon. More information can be found at: http://www.designcon.com/2006.

About Bluespec Bluespec Inc. manufactures an industry standards-based Electronic Design Automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) 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 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.
