Xilinx partners with NI and MathWorks to push fpga performance
1 min read
Xilinx is working with National Instruments and MathWorks to offer a combination of software, model, platform and IP based design environments for its Zynq SoC fpga devices.
These environments, it says, will enable high level graphical and text based programming languages such as C, C++ and SystemC, and will soon support OpenCL with advanced automation technology that translates these languages into optimised implementations.
"By expanding the number and type of abstractions designers can choose from, we are not only improving productivity for existing hardware customers, but are empowering the vast number of systems and software engineers to directly leverage All Programmable fpgas, SoCs, and 3d ics," said Tom Feist, sr. director of design methodology marketing at Xilinx.
To accelerate the creation of complex, highly integrated designs in all programmable devices, Xilinx has also introduced the Vivado IP Integrator (IPI).
The platform is designed to accelerate the integration of customer IP, Xilinx LogiCORE and SmartCORE IP, third party IP, MathWorks Simulink designs built with Xilinx's System Generator, and C/C++ and System C synthesised IP with Vivado High-Level Synthesis.
