Called Trident, it can be used to code, debug, and optimise applications on multiprocessor, multi-board, and multi-system platforms.  It can support up to 65,000 processors.

“The complexities of designing an efficient, multiprocessor-based system are becoming increasingly difficult for system designers to handle, especially when merging two technologies such as DSPs and FPGAs,” says Jeff Milrod, BittWare’s president and CEO. 

The operating environment consists of a suite of embedded libraries and host tools that integrate with Analog Devices Visual DSP++ development tool-chain. It supports multiprocessor synchronisation for threads on different processors, large-scale messaging capabilities with point-to-point and broadcast APIs, and high-speed data transfers.

Communications is via LVDS link ports either directly connected or configured via BittWare’s FPGA ATLANTiS framework.

Priced at $10,000 per project (max 3 development seats), Trident is royalty/run-time free when used on BittWare hardware. Customers interested in purchasing should contact BittWare Sales to obtain a 30 day trial version.
