AccelChip Expands into Japan and Korea with K.K. Rocky.Business Editors & Technology Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 2004 AccelChip Inc., the industry's only provider of automated flows from MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) A programming language for technical computing from The MathWorks, Natick, MA (www.mathworks.com). Used for a wide variety of scientific and engineering calculations, especially for automatic control and signal processing, MATLAB runs on Windows, Mac and (R) algorithms to silicon, today announced it has signed K.K. Rocky to distribute its products and services in Japan and South Korea. K.K. Rocky provides sales and technical services to wireless communication, network communication, distributed multiprocessing, and image processing systems OEMs. "K.K. Rocky's knowledge in 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 design and their excellent software support and design services filled AccelChip's needs in the Asian corridor perfectly," said Tom Feist feist also fice n. Chiefly Southern U.S. A small mongrel dog. [Variant of obsolete fist, short for fisting dog, from Middle English fisting, , vice president of Sales & Marketing, AccelChip. "We are proud to have such a distinguished firm distribute our products in Japan and Korea." "AccelChip's next-generation synthesis products and intellectual property allow engineers to easily optimize DSP algorithms into an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. , ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. , or structured ASIC using a true top-down design flow. We have confidence in the evolutionary tools AccelChip provides to the DSP algorithm developer and hardware designer and believe that AccelChip's approach is destined des·tine tr.v. des·tined, des·tin·ing, des·tines 1. To determine beforehand; preordain: a foolish scheme destined to fail; a film destined to become a classic. 2. to become an industry standard," said Akira Sato, COO of K.K. Rocky. "AccelChip provides a cost-effective design solution without sacrificing any part of a complicated DSP algorithm." About the Companies K.K. Rocky designs, develops, and resells products for wireless signal systems, network communications, sensor systems, distributed multi-processing systems, and image-processing systems. K.K. Rocky resells its partners' products in conjunction with optimized hardware that includes its own VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. , PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). , cPCI chassis and backplane designs. Leveraging its 15 years of design and reselling expertise, K.K. Rocky provides its customers with leading-edge technology from partners around the world and provides system integration with its own subsystems optimized for low cost, high reliability, and high performance. K.K. Rocky systems are targeted for use in next-generation data switches, robotic control, cellular base stations, and applications such as software-defined radio, automotive, semiconductor equipment, military/government communications, medical imaging, intelligent transport, and broadcasting. AccelChip Inc., founded in 2000 and headquartered in Milpitas, California, develops and markets design tools, intellectual property, and consulting services that enable a true, top-down DSP design process. AccelChip's innovative electronic design automation solutions link the domain-specific DSP design environment with proven silicon design flows, allowing DSP algorithm developers to go directly from MATLAB to silicon implementation with high-quality results.
