Encounter RTL Compiler GXL is an upgraded version of the Cadence Encounter RTL Compiler global synthesis technology, and the top-tier of the recently announced segmented Cadence synthesis product line This product helps leading-edge designers deliver smaller, faster and cooler chips in less time

New capabilities include advanced low-power synthesis with top-down multiple-supply-voltage (MSV) optimisation, automatic physical layout estimation (PLE), top-down retiming for high-performance designs, multiple-CPU superthreading to improve customer productivity, and single-pass multimode synthesis.

Advanced low-power-design techniques create new challenges for traditional synthesis tools.

Encounter RTL Compiler global synthesis is architected to concurrently optimise timing, area and power, thus resulting in optimal quality of silicon (QoS), even under challe
