Celoxica Announces Design and Synthesis Support for Xilinx Virtex-4 Domain Optimized FPGAs
SystemC and ANSI-C Based Design and Synthesis Simplifies Design
and Delivers Outstanding Quality of Results for the Newest Family
of FPGA Devices from Xilinx
ABINGDON, England—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sept. 27, 2004—
Celoxica, the leading provider of C-based design and synthesis
solutions, today announced it will support the newly introduced
Virtex-4(TM) FPGAs through the latest release of its suite of system
design and synthesis tools.
Celoxica's tools, the DK Design Suite and Agility Compiler
synthesize highly complex algorithms described in C or SystemC direct
to the FPGA fabric. Alternatively the designer can use the same
algorithmic description and output RT level VHDL and Verilog. To make
best use of the Virtex 4 architecture synthesis support includes
memory tiling, logic packing, automatic use of fast carry logic,
packing of arithmetic functions into Xtreme DSP(TM) slices and options
for retiming.
"With our Virtex-4 family scaling to densities of 200,000 logic
cells, the industry's highest, Electronic System Level (ESL) design
tools play an increasingly important role in helping designers to more
quickly investigate, explore and implement large capacity designs,"
said Steve Lass, director software marketing at Xilinx. "By taking
design entry to higher levels of abstraction, Celoxica helps our
mutual customers to quickly map large and complex design functions
easily and efficiently into our FPGA devices."
"As modern programmable logic devices such as the Virtex-4
continue to deliver ever more density and functionality, designers
must be enabled to quickly exploit all of the features available,"
said Jeff Jussel, vice president of marketing for Celoxica. "Using the
most advanced, high-level synthesis technology our DK Design Suite and
Agility Compiler deliver the specification to silicon productivity
that today's designers demand and match excellent QoR results with
processor and co-processor support to provide a complete programmable
design solution."
