Design Compiler
Concurrent Timing, Area, Power, and Test Optimization
Design Compiler? RTL synthesis solution enables users to meet today's design challenges with concurrent optimization of timing, area, power and test. Design Compiler includes innovative topographical technology that enables a predictable flow resulting in faster time to results. Topographical technology provides timing and area prediction within 10% of the results seen post-layout enabling designers to reduce costly iterations between synthesis and physical implementation. Design Compiler also includes a scalable infrastructure that delivers 2X faster runtime on quad-core platforms.
Design Compiler is the core of Synopsys' comprehensive RTL synthesis solution, including Power Compiler?, DesignWare?, PrimeTime?, and DFTMAX?. Design Compiler NXT is also available and includes includes best-in-class quality-of-results, congestion prediction and alleviation capabilities, physical viewer, and floorplan exploration. Additionally Design Compiler NXT produces physical guidance to IC Compiler, place-and-route solution for tighter correlation to layout and faster placement runtime.
