Mentor Graphics Catapult HLS v10.1b for linux The Catapult High-Level Synthesis (HLS) Platform empowers designers to use industry-standard ANSI C++ and SystemC to describe functional intent and move up to a more productive abstraction level. Catapult High-Level Synthesis The Catapult High-Level Synthesis Platform empowers designers to use industry-standard ANSI C++ and SystemC to describe functional intent and move up to a more productive abstraction level. From these high-level descriptions, Catapult generates production-quality RTL. By speeding time to RTL and by automating the generation of bug free RTL, Catapult significantly reduces the time to verified RTL. The Catapult Platform pairs synthesis with the power of formal C property checking to find bugs early at the C/C++/SystemC level and to comprehensively verify source code before synthesis. Catapult’s advanced power optimizations automatically provide significant reductions in dynamic power consumption. The highly-interactive Catapult workflow provides full visibility and control of the synthesis process, enabling designers to rapidly converge upon the best implementation for power, performance, and area
