As Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) increase in size, complexity and performance, many organisations are struggling with time-consuming, costly and resource-intensive processes to develop the customised Intellectual Property (IP) and board-level capabilities needed for specific applications.
BittWare’s Partner Program looks to remove major time-to-market and technology hurdles by facilitating an ecosystem of FPGA-based enablement IP and full solutions that utilise the company’s FPGA accelerator technology.
“BittWare is taking a leadership role in developing a partner programme that empowers FPGA designers to access a robust ecosystem of proven IP cores, tools, frameworks and solutions from a centralised source,” explained Craig Petrie, VP, Sales and Marketing of BittWare. “In doing so, we are uniquely positioned to close critical gaps in the FPGA design process while reducing risk and accelerating commercialisation of innovative, high-performance applications.”
The programme looks to align powerful solutions from industry-leading and emerging IP providers with BittWare’s compute, network, storage and sensor processing accelerator technologies. In addition to achieving faster out-of-the-box functionality, the ability to combine critical components of the FPGA design process reduces engineering and programming requirements, enabling customers to focus in-demand resources on developing unique capabilities.
In addition, customers will benefit from the opportunity to collaborate much earlier in the design process to meet the varying demands of powerful next-generation applications, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning inference, database acceleration, computational storage, 5G, test and measurement and security.
