Competence of Compaan Design |
Dataflow Theory
Compaan Design has extensive knowledge of dataflow. Over the past 15 years the Compaan Design team members were involved in the academic world, including written or co-authored over 50 peer reviewed articles published in academic press discussing the Compaan technology, system architecture exploration, and dataflow techniques.
FPGA programming
- ISE®/EDK® tool flow from Xilinx
- PCI Express at both the HW and SW level. Compaan has developed its own PCI Express DMA block and PCI Express drivers for Windows
- Microsoft Windows Driver Kit environment to develop drivers for Windows
- Programming of one or more Microblaze® softcores on a Xilinx FPGA
- Knowledge of Xilinx FPGA families
- Knowledge of IEEE standard 1685-200 (IP-XACT)
- Experience with C-to-VHDL compilers, in particular the CatapultC® environment from Mentor Graphics and AutoESL® from Xilinx
- Building complex designs using hierarchical techniques
- Testing and validation of complex designs
- Knowledge of VHDL and to a lesser extend Verilog
Multicore
- Intel® and AMD® Multicore programming
- Low latency task scheduling
- Pthread/Intel Threading Building Blocks® (TBB) thread libraries
