Who should worry about Xilinx and Oasys partnership?Olivier Coudert's Blog - Olivier CoudertJun. 14, 2010 |
Xilinx announced that it signed a multi-year strategic licensing agreement to use Oasys’ synthesis. What does that mean for the FPGA and EDA community?
Oasys’ product, RealTime Designer, is claimed to be 10x-60x faster than the competition. Among other things, it uses AIG-based optimization. This technology is best illustrated by UC Berkeley’s ABC synthesis: several FPGA startups reported that ABC boosted significantly the speed, capacity, and quality of their synthesis engines. No question that Oasys’ synthesis is competitive, at least in the FPGA world.
