Bangalore: Tensilica, an IP core company announced that it has tested the optimized C source code from Digital Signal Processing (DSP) software library by Tata Elxsi, a product design arm of the Tata Group and the existing code - including code optimized with industry standard C intrinsics - ran without any fault on Tensilica's ConnX D2 DSP engine. Following the announcement, designers will now be able to use the software services of Tata Elxsi to design new products with ConnX D2-based SOCs (system-on-chips). "Even existing code utilizing C and platform specific intrinsics for other leading architectures compiles and runs efficiently with no need for additional modification in the code structure," said Nitin Pai, Vice President of Marketing at Tata Elxsi. Tata Elxsi has been a Tensilica software partner for over five years, the latest development can help in extending this partnership. Tata Elxsi leverages its Xtensa processor architecture knowledge and expertise to offer complete SOC design flow services, from specification up to GDSII. In addition, Tata Elxsi is an authorized design center for Tensilica's audio and video multimedia customers.
