Bluespec is an electronic system level (ESL) synthesis solution that addresses algorithms, control logic and complex datapaths. It includes compiler (BSC), simulator (BlueSim), development station (BDW), and emulation platform (emVM). The latest Bluespec version is 2011.04C (?).
It seems Sce-Mi has been improved in this version. Sce-Mi, the Standard Co-Emulation Modeling Interface, is an Accellera standard which was designed to aid in verification of hardware designs. The standard specifies a transaction-based modeling interface used to pass messages between an un-timed software test bench and a design under test (DUT) described in register transfer language (RTL). The DUT can be emulated on an FPGA to achieve better performance than software RTL simulators are capable of.
| Bluespec Core Technology |
| Product | Description |
| Bluespec Compiler (BSC) | Compiles a high-level model, transactor, test bench or implementation into Verilog RTL or SystemC |
| Bluespec Simulator (Bluesim) | Simulates Bluespec designs 5X-20X faster than RTL |
| Bluespec Development Workstation (BDW) | Provides a high-level GUI-based development environment for the design, analysis and debug of Bluespec designs |
| emVM | Provides debug, instrumentation & co-emulation for easy emulation of synthesizable models and legacy RTL with third-party FPGA boards/emulators |
