我覺得標題應該改為 "Which FPGA synthesis tool do you prefer?"
因為 FPGA 有 Logic Synthesis, ASIC 也有 Logic Synthesis, 單只寫 Synthesis 會不知道您
- [  }' T7 f- t7 A! y指的是哪一個要看到內容才知是指 FPGA .....
" c6 o6 _$ t$ l# h$ K  ?若 FPGA 我是較 Prefer Synplify ...... 我沒做過 bench mark 只是我們習慣用而已, 不過有時後是直接在 Altera 的
Quartus II 下做 Synthesis + P&R 而不用 third party 的 tools

LONDON — RTL Compiler from Cadence Design Systems Inc. (San Jose, Calif.) was the clear favorite EDA synthesis tool in a poll of EE Times Europe readers, beating off products from Synopsys Inc. (Mountain View, Calif.), Magma Design Automation Inc. and Incentia Design Systems Inc., both of Santa Clara, California.
