Toshiba standardizes on ACE Associated Compiler Experts' CoSy compiler development system for C compiler development for DSP processors
MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2001--DATE Conference--
ACE Associated Compiler Experts announced that Toshiba Corporation
Semiconductor Company has selected ACE's CoSy® compiler development
system as its standard C-compiler development platform for its DSP
processors. Toshiba has several groups within the company that will be
using CoSy's flexibility and configurability to develop complex
structures such as DSPs for telecommunication and networking
applications.
Generally, only assembly language is supported for firmware
development. However, demand for C compilers are increasing,
particularly from DSP developers. Firmware for DSPs have become very
complicated and unmanageable in size. This in turn has become a major
bottleneck in development.
Most telecommunication system designs use the C language for
system simulation, then port to assembly code for use in the DSP. By
utilizing the C language for compiler development, the firmware
prototyping and development time can be significantly shortened.
``We selected CoSy for our DSP C compiler development because it's
a proven development platform in the marketplace,'' said Takeshi
Yoshimoto, Manager, telecom LSI department, for Toshiba. ``Major
telecom players use CoSy with magnificent results, so we felt it was
important for us to take advantage of such a comprehensive system. Our
customers demand the best in all we do, and we are confident that CoSy
will deliver for us as it has for others. We look forward to a long
relationship with ACE.''
``We are pleased to add Toshiba to our major customer network, and
we trust that CoSy will meet or exceed all their expectations,'' said
Marco Roodzant, vice president of marketing and sales for ACE
Associated Compiler Experts. ``ACE understands the needs of developers
of complex and flexible architectures, and we focus our development on
delivering the systems these companies need for compiler development.''
