Celoxica takes STOC of membership

Celoxica has joined the SpecC Technology Open Consortium (STOC).

Celoxica has joined the SpecC Technology Open Consortium (STOC).

STOC provides an open community for collaboration among designers, companies and consumers of system EDA and participation in the work of STOC is an important part of Celoxica's strategy for helping to shape the definition of system level design methodologies and for better enabling a fast and direct path from system level specification through to implementation in programmable logic.

"Membership of STOC is an important part of our strategy to provide an open and transparent software-compiled system design methodology that drives system partitioning, co-verification and implementation from the system level", said Jeff Jussel, VP Marketing at Celoxica.

"Language flexibility and interoperability is fundamental to a system solution and we already work with languages such as HDLs, Handel-C, C, C++ and SystemC.

SpecC was an obvious move and we are delighted to be a part of STOC".

"We are very happy to have Celoxica as a member of STOC.

Celoxica's Handel-C is the C language extended for hardware description and the compatibility with SpecC is quite high.

We think SpecC to Handel-C conversion in terms of register transfer level description will be implemented efficiently.

It has been several years since the Handel-C Compiler was commercialised and its stability and reliability is very good.

By taking advantage of SpecC and Handel-C together, SpecC to hardware automatic compilation will be accomplished and I believe it will be beneficial to both SpecC and Handel-C communities", said Prof Masahiro Fujita, Professor at Tokyo University and Chair of Language Specification Working Group.
