Lisbon, Portugal and Santa Clara,
California - Coreworks' Dolby Digital Professional Encoder IP core (CWda60), implemented
with its SideWorksTM technology, has been chosen as a finalist in
the 2010 edition of the DesignVision Awards finalist. The International
Engineering Consortium (IEC) recognizes this product as one of the most
important industry contributions of last year. The SideWorks technology enabled
Coreworks to develop an extremely compact Dolby Digital Professional
Encoder design, so small that it can fit economically in an FPGA device, which
constitutes a record breaking achievement.
"The IEC is pleased to name Coreworks’ SideWorks Dolby Digital
Professional Encoder as one of the most beneficial contributions to the electronic
design industry as a 2010 DesignVision Finalist," stated IEC President
John R. Janowiak. "This year’s DesignVision Awards received a
record-breaking 105 submissions and we welcome industry professionals to learn
more of this impressive design solution at DesignCon 2010".
"Coreworks is honored with the IEC's choice of a SideWorks enabled
product," said Jose T. de Sousa, president and chief executive officer of
Coreworks. “SideWorks’ practical approach to reconfigurable computing achieves
true digital signal processor scalability using the least possible silicon area
and power consumption, a trend recognized as very important by the IEC.”
About SideWorks™
Introduced in January 2008, SideWorks enables system and semiconductor
developers to create processor architectures, especially DSP architectures; the
software automatically creates RTL code optimized for power, performance and
area. This ESL approach results in significant silicon area, energy and time
savings – up to 75% reduction in either area or power consumption compared to
RTL designed by hand – requiring a fraction of the effort.
