CoWare and Agility Team to Accelerate the Simulation of Complex DSP Algorithms
Agility's MATLAB-to-C Solutions Integrate with CoWare ESL 2.0 Solutions
SAN JOSE, Calif. and PALO ALTO, Calif. –– May 12, 2008 –– CoWare®, Inc., the leading supplier of platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, and Agility Design Solutions, Inc., a technology innovator that accelerates signal processing algorithm design, verification and implementation, today announced a strategic relationship focused on accelerating the simulation and implementation of complex DSP algorithms starting from MATLAB models. CoWare is offering its customers integration support for accelerated C models generated by Agility’s RMS and MCS products into the entire range of CoWare’s ESL 2.0 solutions.
“Many of our customers are developing DSP algorithms starting in MATLAB and later transitioning into CoWare’s ESL 2.0 solutions,” said Dr. Johannes Stahl, vice president of marketing and business development at CoWare. “With the innovative Agility solutions, we are greatly reducing the transition pain and making the entire flow from MATLAB much more productive.”
“Our MATLAB-to-C technology offers a high-productivity, high-performance solution,” stated Larry Melling, vice president of marketing at Agility. “We are very excited about the integration with CoWare’s ESL design solutions. Working with the leading ESL provider like CoWare will address customers’ needs for better connection of their algorithm models with established product development tools.”
Unique Advantages of Joint Solution
C models generated from MATLAB will efficiently run inside CoWare Signal Processing Designer, increasing the simulation performance by more than 3X in typical cases for the entire DSP system explored. This is in comparison to traditional co-simulation running the interpreted MATLAB model using the MATLAB engine. This is relevant in particular in new, complex wireless standards such as the 3GPP Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard, where many design teams are now transitioning from research in MATLAB to production design efforts.
Complex architectures for consumer applications in the video processing market are developed using CoWare’s architecture design solution today. CoWare customers will now be able to take advantage of the Agility technology to include MATLAB models inside virtual hardware platforms modeled in SystemC. A C model generated by Agility’s MCS product can be integrated inside CoWare Platform Architect using standard, SystemC interface methodologies.
