Prototyping System Accelerates Hardware/Software Simulation

Partnering with Impulse Accelerated Technologies, the company now offers the successful integration of a tool kit for simulating and prototyping high performance computer systems. Based on Xilinx FPGAs, the kit supports a full development path from Visual Studio, GCC, and other compilers, through hardware/software partitioning to a deployable FPGA-based development board. Its tool flow reportedly streamlines development by creating an environment for hardware/software partitioning and experimentation and by automatically generating APIs. A wide range of host programs are available as a part of Impulse C including royalty-free image processing, financial, math, and scientific programs. Dynalith Systems Co. Ltd., Milpitas, CA.
