Celoxica has announced the DK1 design suite, software that enables a fundamentally new approach to the design of electronic hardware.
Celoxica offers a free go at FPGA design
Celoxica DK1 Eval is a free evaluation version of the Celoxica DK1 design suite that is restricted to compilations for simulation only, with no EDIF or VHDL output capability.
Jon Treanor, president and CEO of Celoxica said, "By using our DK1 design suite for research projects and by placing our Handel-C programming language on course curricula, NUS and NTU are helping prepare students for the future of silicon design.
Our methodology can be learnt in weeks so that students can focus on actual design work, and because we enable hardware to be built in weeks and days rather than years the results of that work can be quickly assessed".
Treanor continued: "Our design products allow the user to express hardware designs as software code rather than circuits.
These software algorithms are then mapped directly onto chips that can be rewired in a fraction of a second.
The process has enabled us to drive exciting multimedia applications from a single chip without the need for a microprocessor, an operating system or any software - this is computing without computers".
Celoxica's agreements with NUS and NTU mark the company's entry into the Singapore market, a key part of its global expansion strategy.
Celoxica's office, to be officially opened on 1st April 2001, is located in Singapore's International Business Park, near Jurong East MRT.
It will serve as the company's Asia-Pacific headquarters and its team will work closely with the company's office in Japan, recently launched in January.
