Catapult is for ASIC and FPGA hardware designers of portable wireless, video, and image processing equipment who need to deliver optimal implementations with aggressive time-to-market requirements. Catapult is a high-level synthesis tool that uses industry-standard ANSI C++ to generate correct-by-construction, high-quality RTL 10-100x faster than other methods. Unlike traditional RTL design methodologies, Catapult enables the designer to pick the best architecture for given performance/area/power requirement and avoids the design errors introduced from hand coding the RTL description.
