Bosch Security Systems Selects
Synfora’s PICO C Synthesis Tool To Accelerate FPGA Development
Synthesis of untimed C algorithms shows
quality of results comparable to hand coding
Mountain View, Calif. – February 1, 2010 – Synfora,
Inc., the premier provider of high level synthesis tools for integrated
circuit and system designers of large, complex processing applications,
today announced that Bosch Security Systems has selected PICO
C Synthesis tool for FPGA development as its C Synthesis solution
to accelerate the prototyping and synthesis of C algorithms in
product development. Bosch Security Systems has an extensive portfolio
of innovative, high-quality, ergonomic products and systems for
security, safety and communications. Using PICO C Synthesis for
FPGA allows Bosch Security Systems to reduce design and verification
time and cost while getting product to market more quickly.
"Customers have enjoyed productivity increases of 5-20X with
the PICO High Level Synthesis Platform even as they optimized design
exploration," said Simon Napper, president and CEO of Synfora. "Bosch
Security Systems' will be targeting the video surveillance systems
market with state-of-the-art IP-solutions using PICO C Synthesis
for FPGA. We are pleased to support them in reaching this target
market more quickly and easily."
About the Synfora PICO High Level Synthesis Platform
The PICO High Level Synthesis Platform provides productivity gains by creating
application accelerators from an untimed C algorithm at the highest level of
abstraction. PICO yields QoR (quality of results) that is competitive with manual
design by using a unique parallelizing compiler and multi-level hierarchical
abstraction and IP reuse. It offers the highest possible level abstraction for
large designs, and has been proven to provide huge productivity gains on the
largest production designs, not just on small blocks.
