CAST and Achronix use lossless compression IP to support data processing from the data center to the edge6 Years AgoIntegrate CAST's compressed intellectual property (IP) with
Achronix's eFPGA technology in a high-performance, low-power solution to
support the movement and storage of big data
Achronix Semiconductor Corporation, a leading provider of
field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based hardware accelerators and
embedded FPGAs (eFPGA), today announced that it is focused on providing
semi-conductor IP knowledge for semiconductor system designers. The
property company CAST Incorporated has entered into a partnership;
CAST's high performance lossless compression IP has been implanted to
support Achronix's FPGA portfolio for efficient processing of data
transfer between the data center and the mobile edge. SAA7356HL
CAST provides standard hardware implementations for lossless
compression tools such as Deflate, GZIP, and ZLIB that are compatible
with software implementations for compression or decompression. The
hardware implementation provided by the ZipAccel core provides high
throughput up to 100Gbps with very high compression performance and low
latency. Coupling it with Achronix's Speedcore eFPGA technology enables a
high-performance, low-power solution that can more easily move and
store large data.
With the explosion of applications with analytics, more and more
information is being transmitted through bandwidth-limited communication
channels that are widely used in many scenarios from automotive systems
to large financial institutions. The cost and power consumption of
transmitting data is becoming more and more important. The compression
function implemented using Achronix eFPGA can minimize power consumption
and maximize network capacity. In a custom SoC, the combination of CAST
Compression IP and Speedcore eFPGA IP can effectively increase the
achievable throughput; in addition, developers can use eFPGA to quickly
and efficiently implement data processing algorithms. FTLX8571D3BCL
In order to meet the system's specific throughput, storage, and
latency requirements, the ability to optimize compression algorithms in
eFPGA will make this solution an alternative technology for hundreds of
application scenarios. This not only increases throughput, but also
allows significant savings in expensive memory storage space.
“We are very excited to work with CAST to further enrich Achronix's
partner program,” said Mike Fitton, senior director of product planning
and business development at Achronix. “The ability to instantiate CAST's
high-throughput compression core in our eFPGA will support ASICs and
SoCs with Speedcore to effectively meet the data services market. Thanks
to eFPGA IP as a repeatable workload for specific workloads. Programmed
hardware accelerators, which enable new algorithms including
compression and data parsing, to be quickly implemented. The high
performance of the Speedcore eFPGA coupled with its large market
traction make it an ideal choice for this type of application."
"CAST is pleased to license the core to Achronix's customers who will
benefit from Achronix's unique architecture, which will provide new
algorithms with a high degree of flexibility and timeless capabilities,
and enable rapid time-to-market," CEO of CAST Ltd. Nikos D. Zervas
commented. "By saving time for our customers who require these features
in Achronix FPGAs and eFPGAs by providing proven IP solutions for the
Achronix FPGA toolchain and architecture, the IP has been further
optimized to take full advantage of Achronix's FPGAs. Architecture to
accelerate and reduce chip area."
