Catalytic Launches Fixed-Point DSP Studio During GSPx.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Continuous Product Demos Show Automated Path From Algorithm Specification To Implementation With New 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 Automation Software The first public demonstration of Fixed-Point DSP Studio(TM) software from Catalytic Inc. of Palo Alto Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif., will be during GSPx in Booth Number 315 this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. Exposition hall hours today and tomorrow, September 28-29, are from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Thursday, September 30, hours are from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Catalytic announced yesterday its Fixed-Point DSP Studio software that speeds floating-point to fixed-point conversion for users implementing systems using C or register transfer level (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; ). It shortens implementation time for fixed-point DSP algorithms by providing fixed-point variables in 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), a numerical analysis and visualization environment from The MathWorks, accelerating MATLAB verification simulations up to 20X. An interactive graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to (GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. ) manages the conversion process.
