Synthesis of Untimed C Algorithms Shows Quality of Results Comparable to Hand Coding
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 1, 2010 — Synfora, Inc., the premier provider of high level synthesis tools for integrated circuit and system designers of large, complex processing applications, today announced that Bosch Security Systems has selected PICO C Synthesis tool for FPGA development as its C Synthesis solution to accelerate the prototyping and synthesis of C algorithms in product development. Bosch Security Systems has an extensive portfolio of innovative, high-quality, ergonomic products and systems for security, safety and communications. Using PICO C Synthesis for FPGA allows Bosch Security Systems to reduce design and verification time and cost while getting product to market more quickly.
“Customers have enjoyed productivity increases of 5-20X with the PICO High Level Synthesis Platform even as they optimized design exploration,” said Simon Napper, president and CEO of Synfora. “Bosch Security Systems’ will be targeting the video surveillance systems market with state-of-the-art IP-solutions using PICO C Synthesis for FPGA. We are pleased to support them in reaching this target market more quickly and easily.”
About the Synfora PICO High Level Synthesis Platform
The PICO High Level Synthesis Platform provides productivity gains by creating application accelerators from an untimed C algorithm at the highest level of abstraction. PICO yields QoR (quality of results) that is competitive with manual design by using a unique parallelizing compiler and multi-level hierarchical abstraction and IP reuse. It offers the highest possible level abstraction for large designs, and has been proven to provide huge productivity gains on the largest production designs, not just on small blocks.
