SPW Hardware Design System (HDS)
Synopsys, Inc. — October 2010

Fastest path from innovation into implementation for digital signal processing systems, applying a model-based design approach
- At its core is the C Data Flow (CDF) modeling paradigm, which enables the most efficient description of digital signal processing systems which may be implemented in dedicated digital hardware or embedded software
- SPW Hardware Design System (HDS) is a key component in the SPW product family
- It accelerates the hardware design, verification, and analysis of complex, algorithm intensive Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems
- SPW HDS flow provides graphical RTL design capabilities with parameterized design capture using the SPWC Data Flow (CDF) modeling that enable reuse
- It also includes a large library of complex system building blocks that contributes to substantial reductions in product development time
- HDL simulators are integrated through direct co-execution where the CDF simulation is a part of the HDL design, hence making communication overhead go away
- This is critical as testbenches developed with SPW have very high value if they can be effectively used to verify generated RTL that may contain handwritten RTL as well
- SPW Hardware Design System (HDS)
Proven solution with high quality of results
- Correct by construction RTL design
- Rapid, divide and conquer RTL verification
- Rapid system performance optimization of detailed hardware design
