CAST Offers PCI Express Model, Highlights APS 32-bit Processor Cores at DAC 2007.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) provider CAST, Inc. today announced a new downloadable free simulation model of its PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. IP core, and revealed details of a DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter demonstration and promotion for its APS 32-bit processor cores. The PCIe Core Backend Model (CBM CBM Commodore Business Machines CBM Coalbed Methane CBM Christoffel Blindenmission CBM Condition Based Maintenance CBM Confidence-Building Measures CBM Curriculum Based Measurement (education) CBM Cubic Meter ) Demo of the CAST CPXP-EP PCI Express Endpoint Controller allows a designer to simulate a system with the core at the transaction layer level. Prepared test cases and scripts and an included design example illustrate the features and functions of a PCIe endpoint controller, and multiple parameters and the ability to program a custom application facilitate experimentation with and learning of this popular interface technology. The PCIe CBM Demo is free to qualified designers after on-line registration at www.pciexpresscores.com. The APS family of 32-bit processor cores includes compact, high-performance processors aimed at 8051 upgrade applications, plus a recently-announced 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 coprocessor coprocessor Additional processor used in some personal computers to perform specialized tasks such as extensive arithmetic calculations or processing of graphical displays. . Attendees who stop by CAST's DAC booth to learn more about APS and get a demo can try their hand at an amusing slot machine controller application of the APS3 processor core. Those with a winning pull of the virtual lever will receive an Apple iPod Shuffle in the color of their choice. CAST is exhibiting in booth 5363 at DAC in San Diego, June 1-4. Details on the company's 100+ IP cores and SoC Kernels IP subsystems will be available; learn more at www.cast-inc.com. About CAST, Inc.
