[Ravi Nanavati]

Bluespec, Inc. is a hardware design startup based in Waltham,
Massachusetts that is building the next generation of Electronic Design
Automation (EDA) tools. Bluespec's toolset, which is based on functional
programming technology, delivers a high-level design and verification
environment to current Verilog and VHDL designers of ASICs and FPGAs.
Bluespec is the first high-level synthesis product that accelerates the
design cycle and reduces verification costs while retaining the ability
to deliver no-compromise hardware. Bluespec's technical team includes
the noted programming-language luminaries Rishiyur Nikhil and Joe Stoy.
Join Bluespec and be part of what's next in silicon design!
