Bangalore: Silicon Hive, a supplier of semiconductor intellectual property has launched HiveLogic, a configurable parallel processing platform enabling embedded programmable solutions for system-on-chips. The underlying parallel processing technology has already been deployed by Silicon Hive in mass-consumer solutions for connected multimedia applications in smartphones and digital televisions.
The introduction of the HiveLogic platform enables system-on-chip manufacturers to apply proven parallel processing technology to a broad range of proprietary solutions from ultra-low power medical implants, consuming only a few microwatts, to highest-compute performance wireless infrastructure equipment, offering thousands of GOPS. Competitive solutions for these markets now require high-performance system-on-chips based on embedded parallel processing, instead of discrete DSP ICs, to meet ever-increasing compute performance requirements at highly constrained silicon area and power consumption levels.
"Next generation communications systems require new approaches to implementing digital signal processing," said Gene Scuteri, Vice President of Network Components Division, LSI, which has licensed the HiveLogic. "The HiveLogic platform enables programmable system-on-chips based on parallel processing, providing a new level of compute performance and VLSI characteristics."
