PSI's Poly-Platform facilitates seamless scalability from single core to multicore architectures, enabling designers to take full advantage of sophisticated compute engines, accelerators and custom configurations. Using a friendly GUI (graphical user interface), the topology can be diagrammed and defined as a map that helps streamline the process of building and running the application. This efficient process significantly cuts development time and lets developers optimize application performance. Several scenarios can be tested in a short period of time.
Chip designers increasingly use multiple Tensilica DPUs in their design, each DPU optimized for a particular function in the data path, such as audio, baseband DSP, security, image processing, or more. Tensilica's DPUs are easily optimized for these compute-intensive applications.
"PolyCore Software's Poly-Platform speeds the process of mapping application software to multiple Tensilica DPUs," stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica's vice president of marketing and business development. "Ideally, during the design the software and hardware teams can use tools like Poly-Platform with our own processor design tools to make the best hardware/software tradeoffs. But even after the chip is made, the software team can greatly benefit from using Poly-Platform for the most efficient mapping of their software to our cores."
"Many semiconductor companies and OEMs have incorporated one or multiple Tensilica DPUs in their SOCs," said Sven Brehmer, president and CEO, PolyCore Software. "Our software gives developers the freedom from programming directly to the hardware interfaces, allowing them to quickly deploy their code on the various IP cores in that chip."
