AccelChip DSP Synthesis with IP-Explorer Technology to be demonstrated at SDR Forum

– AccelChip Inc., the industry’s leading provider of semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) and software for MATLAB® and Simulink® DSP algorithms targeting FPGAs and ASICs, will be demonstrating its new IP-Explorer™ Technology at the 2005 Software Defined Radio Technical Conference and Product Exposition in Orange County, California November 14-18, 2005 in booth #113. 

The company is also presenting a paper titled, “Exploration of Least-Squares Solutions of Linear Systems of Equations with Fixed-Point Arithmetic” on Monday November 14th, at 2:00 PM. Dr. Thomas Cesear of AccelChip looks at the finite-precision effects of the Cholesky, QR, and singular value decomposition (SVD) matrix inversion techniques when used in a Generalized Sidelobe Canceling (GSC) beamformer. The paper will also be available on the AccelChip website immediately following the conference.  Please visit www.accelchip.com/papers.html for more information.

During the conference exposition the company will demonstrate the AccelChip® DSP Synthesis tool which reads in floating-point MATLAB, automates conversion to fixed-point, and synthesizes RTL (VHDL or Verilog) and Simulink models along with a self-checking testbench based on the original MATLAB. In addition, it will highlight the product’s new IP-Explorer Technology now included within AccelChip DSP Synthesis version 2005.4.  This new technology extends the product’s ability to rapidly explore the design space for DSP algorithms by automating macro- and micro-architecture tradeoffs of key DSP building blocks.  The result is an algorithmic synthesis solution with unparalleled automation and quality of results.

In addition to AccelChip DSP Synthesis with IP-Explorer technology, the company will be showcasing the newest linear algebra DSP IP core generators recently added to the popular AccelWare® Advanced Math Toolkit.  These unique generators can be used in the deployment of adaptive filter algorithms commonly found in software defined radio solutions such as smart antenna beamforming applications.
