CAST provides standard hardware implementations for lossless compression tools such as Deflate, GZIP, and ZLIB. They are compatible with software implementations for compression or decompression. ZipAccel cores provide hardware implementations that provide high throughput up to 100Gbps and are extremely high Compression performance and low latency. Coupling it with Achronix's Speedcore eFPGA technology enables a high-performance, low-power solution that can move and store large data more easily.
As analytic applications grow exponentially, more and more information is transmitted through bandwidth-limited communication channels. It is widely used in many scenarios from automotive systems to large financial institutions. The cost and power consumption of data transmission has changed. It is increasingly important that the compression capabilities implemented using the Achronix eFPGA minimize power consumption and maximize network capabilities. Combining CAST compression IP and Speedcore eFPGA IP in a custom SoC can effectively Increase the throughput that can be achieved; In addition, developers can use eFPGA to quickly and efficiently implement data processing algorithms.
In order to deal with the system's specific throughput, storage and latency requirements, the ability to optimize compression algorithms in eFPGA will make this solution an optional technology for hundreds of application scenarios. This can not only increase throughput but also enable expensive memory Significant savings in 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. 'Can instantiate CAST's high-throughput compression kernel in our eFPGA. Supports ASICs and SoCs with Speedcore to effectively meet the data services market. Thanks to eFPGA IP as a reprogrammable hardware accelerator for specific workloads, new algorithms including compression and data parsing are instantly enabled. Implementation. The high performance of the Speedcore eFPGA coupled with its large market traction makes 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. 'This IP has been further improved by providing a proven IP solution for the Achronix FPGA toolchain and architecture for our customers who require these features in Achronix FPGAs and eFPGAs. Optimized to take full advantage of Achronix's FPGA architecture to accelerate and reduce chip area.
