PowerEscape's New Product Line Enables Rapid Development of High Performance, Low Power Software; Supports Development of Data-Efficient Software from Desktop Applications to Embedded Appliances.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. -- PowerEscape, Inc., the pioneer in solutions for data-efficient design, today launched a new product to round out its award winning line of tools for data efficient software development. With the introduction of PowerEscape Insight(TM), the industry now has a complete set of products for data-efficient software development, from the creation of reference algorithms to the optimization of software for a specific memory platform. The latest release also includes support for Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. XP and plug-ins for popular Integrated Development Environments (IDE). "Customers have proven that with our products they can improve software performance while reducing power consumption by a factor of 3 or more," said Guido Arnout, 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 PowerEscape. "Improving data efficiency has become key to achieving higher performance, lower power and higher performance per watt. Data Efficiency versus Computational Efficiency Computation ceases to be the primary performance and power bottleneck in data intensive applications such as digital video, audio, telecommunications and networking. Accesses to the memory system consume both time and energy, stealing software performance and burning energy by moving data through a complex memory hierarchy The levels of memory in a computer. From fastest to slowest speed, they are: 1. CPU registers 2. L1 cache 3. L2 cache 4. Main memory 5. Virtual memory 6. Disk . Traditional software optimization has focused on computational efficiency by replacing sections of C code with assembly code. Optimizations for data efficiency can be made much earlier in the development cycle by simply changing C code to reduce data movement between memories and the processor. In addition to achieving higher performance and lower power, data-efficiency increases software portability and time-to-market. The New PowerEscape Product Line PowerEscape Insight(TM) is an essential new tool for anyone that creates software. By improving the data-efficiency of algorithms in the initial phases of development, software developers will improve performance and minimize the need for time-consuming assembly code optimization. The cache reports in PowerEscape Synergy(TM) reveal how C code interacts with a target memory system, before hardware is available. Memory modeling in PowerEscape Architect(TM) enables system designers to optimize a memory system for specific applications, and then publish an accurate memory model for use in PowerEscape Synergy. Availability and Pricing PowerEscape Architect, Synergy and Insight are available immediately. The products run on Microsoft Windows XP (Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms .NET 2003 or Eclipse), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution produced by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market, including mainframes. Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. , Red Hat Linux Red Hat Linux, assembled by Red Hat, was a popular, "middle-aged" Linux distribution (not as old as Slackware but older than Ubuntu) upon its discontinuation in 2004.[1] Red Hat Linux 1.0 was released on November 3, 1994. or Red Hat Fedora A free distribution of the Linux kernel from Red Hat along with a variety of open source utilities. Technical support is not provided for any of the Fedora distribution, only for Red Hat's full fee-based subscription of Linux. Core (Eclipse and gcc 2.95 or higher) and Apple Mac OS X Tiger See Tiger and Mac OS X. (Xcode and gcc 2.95 or higher).
