Nallatech has launched DIME-II with teraOPS performance which it says will allow users to harness the full capability of advanced FPGAs While DIME remains the ideal platform for current systems applications, DIME-II brings together the full power of leading-edge FPGA devices and offers unparalleled off-module I/O capabilities and flexible FPGA device support, coupled with extreme bandwidth capabilities for teraOPS performance for next generation systems design

The Benera is a reconfigurable computing platform that Nallatech claims takes FPGA systems to TeraOPS performance.
The software framework which complements the DIME-II architecture, provides a wide range of powerful functions for system control and dynamic FPGA configuration, both locally and remotely.
The framework operates concurrently with system tools such as Matlab from The Mathworks and System Generator from Xilinx.
This family of tools allows the engineers to develop, analyse and compare DSP alogorithms in Matlab and then, using System Generator and Nallatech software, to take these algorithms directly to the DIME-II hardware without having to rely on specialised knowledge of HDL/FPGA design.
According to Allan Cantle, Technical Director, "By using the latest Virtex-II series from Xilinx, DIME-II is capable of scaling up to 5 teraMAC/s on a single CPCI card.
Additionally systems can now be developed more rapidly, with one of our blue-chip customers advising us that its time to market has been reduced by a factor of five".
