They may claim to be the first, but they aren't. At least two companies (Altium and Altera) already provide C to VHDL compilers.

it's really a very attractive tools....

sounds like something that would be difficult to maintain - how long will this company survive.

How can you convert a sequential language to parellel language.

You can't ... you need additional syntax added to a language... Parallel.For, Parallel.While and have the programmer logically choose the approach.

A compilers role is not to handle concurrency issues.
