Celoxica Inks Agreement with Czech Academy of Sciences; Research Agreement Concentrates on High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing and FPGA-Based Digital Signal Processing
OXFORDSHIRE, England—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 13, 2006—
Celoxica (LSE:CXA) is working with the Academy of
Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR) to accelerate the wide-scale
deployment of high-performance reconfigurable computing and
programmable logic implementations of next-generation digital-signal
processing applications. Under a multi-year research agreement with
the Academy's Institute of Information Theory and Automation (UTIA),
Celoxica and UTIA will develop the complex mathematical models and
calculations that underpin the deployment. The agreement is a dividend
of the long history of successful collaboration and partnership
between Celoxica and UTIA.
The promise of high-performance reconfigurable computing is
finally being realized on a commercial scale through a combination of
unrelenting advances in lower power, extreme performance programmable
logic architectures and the new software programming paradigm,
characterized by electronic system level (ESL) design, that enables
these architectures to be more easily exploited and integrated into
high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures and systems.
Working with industry, Celoxica is already deploying its
award-winning ESL design solutions and acceleration cards to enable
HPC and DSP designers take maximum advantage of the parallel
processing capabilities of FPGA, either as software-programmable
custom processors or co-processors that augment existing solutions
such as high-end DSP or microprocessor technology. The research
agreement with UTIA will help accelerate the development of Celoxica's
next generation solutions.
"Our continued program of invention and innovation requires
continued investment and we have carefully selected UTIA as a
long-term research partner to augment our internal R&D efforts," said
Phil Bishop, president and CEO of Celoxica. "The team at UTIA brings a
wealth of knowledge, expertise and creativity that will help us
develop solutions that further push the boundaries of accelerated
computing and next generation programmable logic design."
Jiri Kadlec, head of signal processing and distinguished
researcher in reconfigurable signal processing technology, commented,
"There is now commercial recognition of how massively parallel,
reconfigurable hardware processing architectures can be practically
used to solve some of the issues that surround complex computing
problems. Our research has helped define the solutions to these
problems and with the availability of software programmable hardware
we can now focus effort on the underlying mathematical calculations
that will drive commercial applications."

About UTIA
The mission of The institute is to provide the basic research in
the fields of theoretical cybernetics and computer science, namely the
control science, information science, advanced data and knowledge
processing, system science and signal processing. Attention is paid to
the problems connected with application of these branches and to the
education and propagation of new results
About The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR)
The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR) was
established in 1992 by the Czech National Council (Act No. 283/1992 of
the Collection of Acts) as the Czech successor of the former
Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. ASCR is the leading non-university
basic research public institution in the Czech Republic. It conducts
both fundamental and strategic applied research to create scientific
knowledge that contributes to strengthening the nation's position in
key areas of science and to finding up-to-date solutions to
contemporary problems of the society.
Within three Scientific Divisions, namely the Division of
Mathematics, Physics, and Earth Sciences, Division of Chemical and
Life Sciences, and Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, the
Academy currently manages a network of sixty research institutes and
five supporting units staffed by a total of 6400 employees, of whom
slightly over one half are university-trained researchers and Ph.D.
scientists. The ASCR institutes are also involved in education by
providing courses at the graduate level and supervising doctoral
programs. The Head Office of the Academy and forty research institutes
are located in Prague, the remaining institutes being situated
throughout the country.
