Mentor Graphics and ACE Collaborate to provide a comprehensive DSP software development environmentAmsterdam 03 October 2001 Mentor Graphics added ACE Associated Compiler Expert (ACE) to its Certified Technology Provider (CTP) program. As a CTP member, ACE will offer its CoSycompiler development system to members of the Mentor Graphics Embedded Technology Adoption Program (ETAP), enabling companies to generate high-quality compilers for use with their embedded processors and digital signal processors (DSPs). The widely used ACE compiler technology together with Mentor's leading XRAYDebugger will provide ETAP members with access to a powerful, yet easy to use software development environment.
ACE's CoSy system is directly suited for easing the development of compilers for highly
complex architectures and next-generation DSP cores. By providing a powerful compiler
generation technology that addresses key requirements, including an open system option for
customization, language and design flexibility, the CoSy environment enables developers to
create more robust products at lower development costs. In the DSP software development
environment, ETAP members can have access to the CoSy system and the XRAY technology to
support a wide range of DSP architectures, including multimedia, wireless and
telecommunications devices. ACE is currently providing CoSy technology and expertise to many companies within the
embedded software industry, including Siroyan and Philips Semiconductors, both ETAP
members. As an example, Siroyan employs both the CoSy environment and Mentor's XRAY
Debugger technology to help SoC designers achieve optimal performance with its OneDSP
architecture.
