Micro Digital Announces GoFast for Nios II
Costa Mesa, California, September 15, 2005 - Micro Digital Inc. is pleased to announce that the GoFast floating point library has been ported to the Altera® Corporation's Nios II embedded processor family.
GoFast is a family of high-performance, reentrant, floating-point libraries designed for embedded applications. They are ANSI C compatible and are designed to directly replace a C compiler's runtime floating-point support (library or coprocessor). GoFast boosts the performance of an application's math calculations or eliminates the need for hardware floating-point coprocessors, in order to reduce product manufacturing cost.
By using the GoFast library, developers can achieve a significant performance boost in their Nios II floating-point operations. Peformance increases vary from 3:1 for most arithmetic operations, such as addition, up to 10:1 for more advanced operations, such as arctangent.
"The GoFast floating point libraries provide our Nios II system of designers with increased design flexibility while meeting their system performance goals," said Chris Balough, Altera's director of software and Nios marketing. "System designers can quickley realize substantial performance gains in their math intensive software algorithms, while preserving their valuable FPGA resources for other functions."
