can cycle-accurate design be done using cadence?

[dr.farnsworth]

In high-level behavioural synthesis , scheduling is a common term. can anyone tell me if cycle accurate design can be done using cadence software or not ? Or tools which can be used for this purpose. Anybody has some info abt this

you mean tools like MC and BC, looks like not one uses BC, so you have to schedule you high level architecture manually.

Cadence has no such tools, but looks like they will promte a new standard language for data path, so they will have tool like MC.

Metor has tool to convert C to HW, but I think it is mainly for DSP. there is no general HIGH LEVEL SYHTHESIS tool, otherwise we all loose our jobs

Hi niuniu,
thanks .What is MC and BC ? Does that mean scheduling in High-level synthesis was done manually till now and there is no tool ? if not, Do you an Idea how it could be done?

My question is how can control and datapath scheduling can be done? Is it imp to do for high-level behavioural synthesis ?
