The Prototype Comes of Age : EDN Europe

The Prototype Comes of Age : EDN Europe: "Among the changes now taking place in this area is the migration to higher levels of abstraction for hardware design. Driving this change is a desire for increased productivity in the hardware that provides unique value in a product. The ability to derive several implementations from a single highlevel description is also desirable. Once you develop this block at an abstract level and verify it, you can then use it to generate several microarchitectures or target implementation technologies, each with characteristics such as low power or small size. High-level synthesis is helping in this area. As a by-product of high-level synthesis, verification teams have discovered that their process can become more efficient when they use abstract models. As systems become more concurrent, it is no longer possible to analyze the throughput, latency, or other aspects of a system architecture using static methods, so the role of verification is also increasing to include system-level concepts."
