About Bluespec
Bluespec supplies RISC-V processor cores and related design tools. RISC-V is an open instruction set that companies can build on without a licence fee. Its offerings include portable soft cores, domain-specific cores for acceleration, hardware-assisted verification, and a high-level synthesis flow called Accelerate-HLS, which turns software-style descriptions into chip logic. It also works with Synopsys on RISC-V verification. The company lists its office in Framingham, Massachusetts, not Waltham.
Bluespec was founded in 2003 and is based in Waltham, MA, United States. It is listed under ASICs, CPUs & RISC-V.

What Bluespec works on
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
CPUs & RISC-V
A CPU, or central processing unit, is the general-purpose chip that runs a computer. It reads instructions, does arithmetic and logic, and decides what happens next. Every phone, laptop and server has at least one.
