Poly-Platform™ Now Available for Texas Instruments’ High Performance Multicore DSPs

BURLINGAME, Calif.Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Advancing in multicore development software, PolyCore Software, Inc. (PSI) today announced full support of Texas Instruments Incorporated KeyStone multicore architecture, with an emphasis on TI’s TMS320C667x™ digital signal processors (DSPs) generation. PSI’s Poly-Platform™ addresses the challenges designers face in their efforts to increase performance while achieving full utilization of the processor.

Poly-Platform facilitates a significant improvement in time-to-market by allowing users to quickly begin their development cycle, as well as the ability to make adjustments toward an optimized design. The application can be streamlined for TI’s high performance multicore processors and is also scalable, allowing rapid transition to next generation architectures. Poly-Platform’s scalability allows for development on TI’s multicore DSPs to be used in future designs.

“Poly-Platform layers seamlessly onto TI’s Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) and DSP/BIOS™ kernel, providing developers with a platform to quickly adapt their application to our KeyStone multicore architecture,” says Frank Fruth, director of multimedia engineering, TI.  “The hardware and software integration provides a platform for applications to run on each of our C667x multicore DSP generation, as well as our next generation of processors.”

“We are pleased to provide tools assisted access to the MCAPI API for developers using TI’s flexible KeyStone multicore architecture with Poly-Platform,” said Sven Brehmer, president and CEO, PolyCore Software. “Furthermore, Poly-Platform’s EDMA3 and SRIO support, provides rapid access to these devices, reducing the developers task from a programming to a configuration effort, and enables MCAPI applications across TI’s cores and solutions.”

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
