CoSy is a commercial development system that allows compiler developers to efficiently generate production-quality compilers This page is dedicated to list all current compilers, compiler generators, interpreters, translators, etc. C/C++ compilers Compiler Author Windows UNIX-like Other OSs License type IDE? C++ Builder CodeGear (Borland) Yes No DOS Proprietary Yes C++ Compiler for a wide range of target architectures and programming languages. TOPS' aggressive development schedule demanded a high quality technology to aid in the compiler development process. In addition, ACE provided its technical expertise to the development team. This significantly sped up the development, allowing TOPS to reach its target in time. Through its extensive use of generators, CoSy significantly reduces development time while increasing compiler consistency and quality of generated code. TOPS plans are to use the advanced DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive support in CoSy DSP for next stage improvements in the compiler, taking full advantage of the application-oriented instruction enhancements in the TOPS architecture. "Advanced architectures require advanced development tools to create sustainable products, but there isn't much available that we consider quality. We evaluated all the possible compiler solutions to see which would maximize the performance of our products. After careful consideration, we concluded that CoSy fulfilled ful·fill also ful·fil tr.v. ful·filled, ful·fill·ing, ful·fills also ful·fils 1.

"CoSy is integral to developing the intellectual property we offer to the mobile networking and communication appliance industry. CoSy helps us to provide a superior quality product in less time." The relationship with TOPS Systems continues ACE's long list of technology partnerships with forward-thinking companies. These innovative industrial CoSy users benefit from the product's flexibility, with particular emphasis on embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. architectures. CoSy's ease of use and ease of integration allow developers to design at a more comprehensive level, offering the ability to create maximum performance for flexible architecture designs. "ACE has taken great strides to create an unparalleled product in CoSy, one that continues to gain acceptance among the industrial community," said Marco Roodzant, vice president of sales and marketing for ACE Associated Compiler Experts. "We are thrilled thrill v. thrilled, thrill·ing, thrills v.tr. 1. To cause to feel a sudden intense sensation; excite greatly. 2. To give great pleasure to; delight.

TOPS Systems will release the application processor IP for products such as media rich cellular phones, digital camcorders, portable digital TV and web tablets in mid-2003. About TOPS Systems Corporation TOPS Systems Corporation was founded in 1999 in Tokyo, Japan. The company develops SoC-IP solutions for mobile networking and communication systems. TOPS Systems' groundbreaking technology is its heterogeneous multi-processor architecture. This technology is the fusion of course level parallel execution, task optimized execution engines, and highly efficient bus control. This architecture meets or exceeds the tough demand for the performance and power of mobile applications such as multimedia phone and wireless appliances.

About ACE ACE Associated Compiler Experts bv (a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. of ACE Associated Computer Experts, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) is a world leader in compiler development tools. Its open CoSy compiler development system gives compiler developers the ability to achieve a similar leading edge position in the construction of better and faster optimizing compilers A programming language compiler that enhances the performance and/or reduces the size of the resulting machine program. Optimizing compilers require multiple passes in order to analyze the entire program and maximize the reuse of code throughout. See compiler. for architectures ranging from 4-bit DSPs to 256-bit VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) A CPU architecture that reads a group of instructions and executes them at the same time. For example, the group (word) might contain four instructions, and the compiler ensures that those four instructions are not dependent on each processors. CoSy also accommodates a wide range of programming languages including C, DSP-C, C++, Fortran and Java. Japan Novel is ACE's representative in Japan.
