Subject: Is Behavioral Compiler Worth It Or Just So Much Hype?
John,
I've been eye-ing Behavioral Compiler (BC) for the last 3 years, and have
just been through training on BC. However, I'm still not convinced it's
a clear productivity gain (or coding reliability improvement), as
there is with Design Compiler, which I've been happily using for the last
5 years. This uncertaintly may just be due to the domain of my design
space. I have seen the write-up from Apple's David Black (first in ESNUG,
then in "Integrated System Design" magazine and now in Synopsys's "Impact!"
mailer) but would like to hear on ESNUG from other BC users where BC helped
(in technical detail) over RTL design methodology. I would also love to
see positive and negative comments about BC on ESNUG.
