AccelChip Signs Marubun Corporation as Exclusive Japanese Distributor.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2002 AccelChip, Inc., the leading provider of high-level synthesis tools for 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, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Marubun Corporation as its exclusive distributor to sell AccelChip's AccelFPGA products, methodologies and services in the Japanese market. AccelFPGA is the first DSP design tool that directly synthesizes the 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 design language, the language used by the overwhelming majority of DSP designers. By providing a completely automated path to accelerate DSP algorithms by physical implementation in 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. device, AccelFPGA shaves months off the traditional DSP design cycle by eliminating the manual creation of RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; models and simulation testbenches, and providing an efficient method for DSP algorithm developers to perform physical design space exploration early in the design process. "The Japanese market provides an outstanding opportunity for AccelChip with the growing importance of the acceleration of DSP algorithms through implementation in FPGA devices for consumer, embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. , automotive, computing computing - computer , and telecommunications products," said Dan Ganousis, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AccelChip. "We feel Marubun is the ideal partner to provide the high quality of sales, service and support our customers deserve. We look forward to a very successful partnership with Marubun to maximize our customer's success with our products and services."
