White Paper: Reducing Switching Power with Intelligent Clock Gating
Xilinx delivers the first automated, fine-grain clock-gating solution that can reduce dynamic power by up to 30% in Virtex(r)-6, Spartan(r)-6, Kintex(tm)-7, and Virtex-7 FPGA designs. Xilinx intelligent clock-gating optimizations are automatically performed on the entire design, introduce no new tools or steps to the flow, and generate no changes to the existing logic or to the clocks that alter the behavior of the design. And, in most cases, the timing is also preserved.

White Paper: Engineers increasingly vote for prototyping for embedded system debug
For the second year in a row, Byte Paradigm has conducted an online survey to understand the role of using a ‘live’ prototype for testing and debugging embedded systems. This year, we paid special attention to the equipment that the electronic engineer finds in the lab or on the desk to efficiently test and debug embedded systems. Results show that using a prototype is widely seen as a way to speed up debugging and that digital pattern generators are gaining success for the generation of digital input stimuli.

White Paper: Synthesizing Algorithms from MATLAB and Model-based Descriptions
Algorithm design is one of the most significant factors in the increasing complexity of IC design and verification. Algorithm, signal processing, and system engineers have increasingly been using MATLAB and Simulink for very concise modeling and design of their algorithms. This paper introduces Synopsys’ Synphony High Level Synthesis (HLS) product which allows designers to take algorithm concepts developed at this high level and automatically and reliably implement them directly into silicon.
