Celoxica C-language compiler supports IPFlex DAPDNA

Celoxica Ltd and IPFlex Inc. have signed an alliance extending Celoxica C-based synthesis technology to the IPFlex digital application processor/distributed network architecture (DAPDNA) dynamically reconfigurable processor technology.

The alliance has already resulted in a C-language to reconfigurable hardware compiler based on Celoxica technology. The compiler provides a high-productivity design environment for developing applications on DAPDNA hardware.

The IPFlex's DAPDNA technology enables systems described in software languages, such as C, to be implemented in silicon devices with performance equivalent to custom-designed chips, with a combination of its FW II design tool and the DAPDNA-2 dynamically reconfigurable processor. Celoxica develops EDA tools for system design and the technology behind their DK design suite is the solution for compilation of C-based languages to reconfigurable hardware.
