A closer look at the new solution with the help of Rob Knoth, Product Management Group Director in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence
With its recently announced “Joules RTL Design Studio”, Cadence is offering “a new solution that provides users with actionable intelligence to accelerate the register transfer level (RTL) design and implementation process.” According to Cadence, front-end designers can now access digital design analysis and debugging capabilities from a single, unified cockpit, enabling fully optimized RTL design prior to implementation handoff. For years, Cadence maintains, front-end designers have lacked visibility of RTL metrics on power, performance, area, and congestion (PPAC). Now, with the Joules RTL Design Studio, exploration and prototyping are possible prior to committing the design to the place and route phase.
