Compiler technology complements HyperTransport

CebaTech has joined the HyperTransport Technology Consortium.

CebaTech has joined the HyperTransport Technology Consortium, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to developing, promoting and licensing the industry's lowest latency, highest bandwidth and most efficient interconnect technology.

HyperTransport-based products give original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) a platform for delivering high-performance systems using off-the-shelf, proven, industry-standard technology which drives down cost and time to market when deploying state-of-the-art systems.

CebaTech is focused on helping customers save time and improve efficiency in the development of electronic designs.

The company is pioneering a new approach to ESL-based design in which untimed ANSI C is the design language, verification takes place in a pure C software environment, architecture is explored and implemented in the C source, and synthesisable Verilog RTL is automatically generated.

The result is a flow that dramatically shortens the development time for complex chips - whether they be ASSP-, ASIC- or FPGA-based designs.

CebaTech enables rapid implementation of software algorithms in dedicated hardware, which allows customers to produce lower cost and lower power chips.

"The low latency, high bandwidth interconnect provided by HyperTransport, coupled with CebaTech's C-to-RTL compiler technology, enables the use of FPGAs as parallel coprocessors in compute-intensive applications such as financial analysis, oil and gas exploration, and life sciences".

"Working with existing HyperTransport members such as DRC Computer Corp, CebaTech and its partners make possible the efficient delivery of previously unattainable levels of acceleration for compute-intensive applications", said John Emmitt, ESL Product Manager for CebaTech.
