Synopsys acquisition enhances ASIP software tools
Providing software tools to design and program application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs), Target Compiler Technologies has been acquired by Synopsys. This acquisition strengthens Synopsys' existing ASIP tools portfolio and brings a world-class team of ASIP experts into the company.
Ideally suited for compute-intensive digital signal and data plane processing, ASIPs complement industry-standard processor architectures by enabling designers to implement their own highly specialised software programmable engines.
John Koeter, Vice President of Marketing, IP and Systems, Synopsys, comments: "As today's SoCs rely more on heterogeneous multi-core architectures, designers are turning to ASIPs to implement their unique data plane and digital signal processing requirements. Target's leading IP Designer and MP Designer software tools perfectly complement Synopsys' offerings for ASIP developers, enabling design teams to develop ASIPs that meet their performance, power, and flexibility requirements more efficiently and with less risk."
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
