Impulse Accelerated Technologies, Inc. today announced its
participation at the Intel Developer Forum being held August 19
through 21 in San Francisco.
Impulse will demonstrate C-to-FPGA programming solutions for high
performance computing platforms combining Intel's high-performance
processors with application-optimized, software programmable FPGA
coprocessors. The Impulse C compiler and libraries support rapid
design iteration and algorithm refactoring, providing visibility and
control to software programmers targeting hardware-accelerated
workstation and server systems. Impulse provides framework for
heterogeneous programming of GPP (general purpose processors), FPGA
(field programmable gate arrays), and DSP (digital signal processors).
The Impulse tools allow software programmers to easily describe,
debug, optimize and deploy accelerated applications, and to partition
applications between different types of computing elements.
"The Impulse CoDeveloper tools allow software programmers to use
the same programming language and tools for FPGA accelerators as they
use for general-purpose processors," said David Pellerin, Impulse CTO
and co-founder. "This approach allows accelerated multi-processor
applications to be developed and deployed in hours or days, rather
than in weeks or months."
Impulse programming solutions will be presented at IDF for image
processing, signal processing, and military, financial and scientific
computing. Demonstrations will be presented for design flows targeting
Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology, FSB and PCI Express(R) Technology.
These demonstrations, held in the Intel QuickAssist Technology
Community area, will focus on hardware/software partitioning and
co-design, pipeline optimization and instruction parallelism, and
automatic generation of FPGA hardware from C-language descriptions.
Multiple FPGA-based hardware platforms will be discussed and
demonstrated.
