Behavioral Design Drives Low-Power Silicon

Mon, 02/16/2009 - 18:07
Using high level synthesis, a design team can implement and verify more functionality in hardware in less time than required for RTL design. This makes it feasible to move system functionality from software into dedicated hardware, reducing the number of instruction fetches and lowering required CPU clock speeds for significant system-level power savings.
