DC Ultra™ RTL synthesis solution enables users to meet today’s design challenges with concurrent optimization of timing, area, power and test. DC Ultra 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. DC Ultra also includes a scalable infrastructure that delivers 2X faster runtime on quad-core platforms.
