IntellaSys Offers Free Download of T18 Compiler/Simulator for SEAforth(TM) Multicore Processors Targeting Embedded Applications.CUPERTINO, Calif. -- IntellaSys Corporation today announced the availability of a freshly minted compiler/simulator to support its recently introduced SEAforth[TM] multicore processors for embedded applications. The novel T18 compiler/simulator, which is now available to registered users as a free download on the company's web site (www.intellasys.net), leverages fully the efficiencies inherent in the company's VentureForth[TM] software. The T18 will be publicly demonstrated for the first time tomorrow during In-Stat's Fall Processor Forum exhibition, scheduled to run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. . "As a key development tool for our SEAforth family of multicore processors, our T18 facilitates the design of embedded solutions that exploit the performance-per-watt benefits of our Scalable Embedded Array[TM] (SEA) platform," said Chet Brown, 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 IntellaSys. "Our T18 can be used to view a compelling simulation of how we deploy a test crawler Also known as a "Web crawler," "spider," "ant," "robot" (bot) and "intelligent agent," a crawler is a program that searches for information on the Web. Crawlers are widely used by Web search engines to index all the pages on a site by following the links from page to page. to completely tour all 24 cores on a single chip and rapidly perform extensive processing on each." Brown noted that testing multicore solutions requires new approaches to high-speed testing, and that the crawler technique is just one of the methods his firm is using to validate the performance of SEAforth multicore devices. The simulated crawler program is included with the free download of the T18 so that registered users can immediately operate the simulator without having to write their own program. SEAforth Multicore Processors Formally launched earlier this year, the SEAforth family of multicore solutions employs an innovative dual-stack architecture that is both asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. and scalable. The on-chip benefits of initial SEAforth chips coming to market include: * RAM and ROM on each core (64 words each) to break the memory bottleneck * Flash memory interface to ripple-load application code into cores at boot * Static/dynamic RAM interface to facilitate common data memory access * Real-time clock support * 18-bit A/D A/D See advance-decline line (A/D). and 9-bit D/A converters to eliminate need for external data conversion * Serial (SPI (1) (Stateful Packet Inspection) See stateful inspection.

It is also used between a digital controller and an analog/digital codec similar to the AC Link and HD Audio Link ports * Extensive parallel I/O lines for versatile "bit banging" * Scalable connectivity among multiple SEAforth-24 chips via high-speed I/O ports Forthlet[TM] Code Library Extending the power of the company's VentureForth software (RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. derivative of Forth) is the Forthlet Code Library. Unlike conventional code libraries that require linking the entire library into the applications program if just one routine is used, the Forthlet Library links only the routines used. In this system, there is no penalty for building a large, comprehensive library. Routines in the Forthlet Code Library take the form of Forthlet code objects that can be moved around the chip from core to core to do special processing. Forthlets are the basic building blocks of code on the SEA Platform. They are used in the ROM BIOS in each core, and in the library of pre-coded functions. Even the user written program takes the form of a large Forthlet code object that calls the others. About IntellaSys IntellaSys Corporation is a TPL 1. TPL - Table Producing Language.
