Target Unveils MP Designer™, a New Tool-Suite for Multicore SoC Design
June 3, 2011. Today at the Design Automation Conference in San Diego, Target announced the upcoming release of a new tool-suite supporting the design of heterogeneous multicore systems-on-chip (SoCs). The tool-suite, which is called MP Designer, supports key design tasks such as the parallelization of sequential C code for multicore architectures and the generation of a communication fabric between multiple cores in SoC platforms. A pre-production version of MP Designer will be demonstrated in Target’s booth at the Design Automation Conference. A full commercial release of the new tool suite is slated for early 2012. The first release is targeted to companies already using Target’s IP Designer™ tool-suite for ASIP design. Target is preparing for beta partner engagements now.
