Xilinx licenses Oasys Chip Synthesis technology 
Jun 8th, 2010 
Oasys today announced that Xilinx has licensed their Chip Synthesis technology. This follows on the announcement earlier this week with Juniper Networks. Oasys now has one of the companies doing the most leading edge designs on bare silicon, and now the company that creates the substrate for many of the most leading-edge FPGA designs.

It is not entirely clear what Xilinx plans to do with Oasys, and I am not privy to any details. But reading between the lines of the press release, I would guess that Xilinx is going to use RealTime Designer or a derivative of it as part of their flow for their next generation of arrays which will presumably have the capability to handle enormous designs. Presumably this will eventually result in RealTime Designer getting into Xilinx's customers hands, although whether this will be with an Oasys or a Xilinx badge on the hood remains to be seen.

In the short term this announcement is probably most important as a strong validation of the use of RealTime Designer for FPGA based designs.
