Synopsys, Synplicity Business Group: Tools for FPGA Independence

Jeff Garrison, Director of Marketing, FPGA Implmentation at Synplicity (now part of Synopsys), discusses the advantages of going with an independent EDA vendor for your programmable logic design tool needs. In his view, there are several advantages to using ''paid'' FPGA tools, with the top two being 1) Quality of Results and 2) technology independence. For high performance FPGA applications, such as those used in communications, timing performance is a key advantage. Customers find great value in being able to run their design faster than they could achieve with other tools. For high volume applications, such as HDTVs, a synthesis tool that can fit a design into the next smaller device size can save customers significant part cost.

Ocelot - Small, Fanless SBC Based on SUMIT™ & Intel Atom™


VersaLogic Corp. is proud to announce the Ocelot, a small, fanless single board computer (SBC) featuring great performance, very low power operation, and the new SUMIT™ (Stackable Unified Module Interconnect Technology) expansion interface. The Ocelot takes advantage of all the best features of Intel's latest generation Atom processor (Z5xx series), which was designed specifically for embedded applications - very high performance(up to 1.6 GHz), radically reduced power requirements, and ground-breaking power management capabilities, extended temperature operation...
