Day 1: Synplify Pro
This course first introduces the Synplify Pro tool. The course will familiarize students with the FPGA design flow utilizing features of the Synplify Pro product, enabling them to actively create designs using the Synplify Pro product. The course then expands on these concepts to focus on complex design techniques, debugging and high performance design. All topics covered in this course will aid the student for day 2 – ESL Synthesis Tutorial for DSP Algorithm Implementation.

Day 2: ESL Synthesis Tutorial for DSP Algorithm Implementation
New tools for implementing DSP algorithms into FPGAs and ASICs are making it much faster and easier to go from high level models into silicon, including the ability to perform architectural exploration and evaluate speed and area tradeoffs quickly. This session provides a tutorial on using Synplify DSP, how some of the commmonly used optimizations work and how they can be applied automatically to high-level algorithm models built with Synplicity's Synplify DSP library and Mathworks Simulink. The seminar will include examples in wireless communications and will benefit engineers who are interested in:
- Methods to rapidly create implementable aglorithm models
- Architectural exploration and analysis
- Creating portable algorithmic IP that are re-usable across FPGA and ASIC technologies
