The agreement includes Celoxica's system-level APIs, enabling developers to create applications and IP for a single set of interfaces and independent of board-level detail.
With hundreds of commercial licenses used worldwide, the DK Design Suite provides the industry's de facto standard for FPGA-based ESL design and coprocessor acceleration, and offers the engineer an environment that spans design entry, simulation, co-simulation and high-level synthesis. As university researchers embrace ESL design methodologies, CMC's delivery of these tools to more than 15 universities will increase the electronic design and microsystems capability of Canadian faculty members and post-graduate students.
The DK Design Suite provides system-level simulation and synthesis from C to FPGA or RTL and enables processor off-load to FPGA-based coprocessors. These capabilities provide opportunities for researchers to explore microsystem technology integration; hands-on experience with industry-calibre technology; and a competitive edge for the future companies they join.
CMC builds partnerships among government, industry and universities to enable microsystems discovery, applied research and technology development. By providing researchers with access to state-of-the-art tools and technology, CMC accelerates world-class research leading to innovation and the commercialization of microsystems.
"With increasing opportunities presented by ESL, microsystems researchers and their collaborators from various scientific fields require access to industry-grade programmable logic design capability," said Dan Gale, vice president and chief technology officer at CMC. "Working with Celoxica, these research teams will explore design solutions offering the right balance of features, maturity and novelty relative to advanced technology roadmaps, and create new opportunities to integrate microelectronics with other technologies."
Roger Gook, Celoxica's university program manager, commented, "Our agreement with CMC advances the worldwide roll-out of our latest ESL design solutions to key academic centres of research excellence. Given the increasing role of ESL design in accelerating enterprise software and industrial flows, it is essential that researchers have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in methodology and benefit from the key learnings that emerge from cutting-edge research. It is integral to increasing the competitiveness of microsystems-based companies across industrial sectors."
