Products to be exhibited:

NSL Overture

NSL Overture is an integrated development environment (IDE) includes NSL Core, a synthesis engine using the Next Synthesis Language (NSL), a new generation of hardware description languages, an editor specialized for NSL, a simulator interface, and an input tool using a class diagram of the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

NSL Core

NSL Core, a core synthesis engine, synthesizes existing hardware description languages (Verilog HDL, VHDL and SystemC) from the NSL. It synthesizes high-speed circuits taking advantage of the NSL's features.

About Next Synthesis Language (NSL)

The Next Synthesis Language (NSL) is a hardware description language jointly developed by Overtone Corporation and IP Arch, Inc. of the U.S. In addition to its capability of highly abstractive description, the NSL also employs a syntax which is easy to use for software engineers, making it possible to design circuits with a smaller amount of description. Another major feature is that the NSL can utilize an IP core described in the existing description languages such as Verilog HDL and VHDL.
