SpyGlass 3.0 from Atrenta is a predictive analysis tool that cuts IC design time by providing the industry's first structural analysis of RTL (register transfer level) code.
SpyGlass 3.0 from Atrenta is a predictive analysis tool that cuts IC design time by providing the industry's first structural analysis of RTL (register transfer level) code With its built-in fast synthesis engine, SpyGlass 3.0 can detect very complex structural problems at RTL that otherwise only show up at the gate level

Simulator option speeds up Verilog RTL
SpyGlass for VCS is an option for Atrenta's SpyGlass 3.0 that improves RTL descriptions, which speeds up VCS simulation performance.
Analysis tool checks testability of RTL code
Atrenta's SpyGlass DFT incorporates two new engines to find testability issues at register transfer level (RTL) that would normally only be identified at the gate level.
SpyGlass 3.0's new graphical user interface correlates the RTL coding violations with schematics (automatically generated) to help designers get to the source of the problem and figure out the best way to debug their design.
By being able to predict where RTL code will cause problems later in the design cycle, SpyGlass helps eliminate time-consuming design iterations.
The designs created are better optimised, reusable, and go through the design flow with minimal problems.
