Come see us in New Orleans!
Next week we’ll be joining the rest of the EDA and IP industry
at the Design Automation Conference (DAC)
in New Orleans. We hope you can join us there, as we’ve got
some pretty exciting things planned.
Many of our technical experts will of course be in the booth and
suite, ready to answer your questions about our cores and designing
with IP in general. We’ll also have live demos of several
different cores, including our new JPEG decoder, the 80186, the
8051 with on-chip debugging, and the Ethernet MAC.
And we’ll also be announcing a major new core, the JPEG
2000 Encoder. The new JPEG 2000 standard offers significant
benefits over today’s widespread JPEG format, and CAST joins
a select few vendors who offer it. We feel that our version is very
competitive, but you’ll be hearing more about that soon.

IP Japan News:
JPEG cores now available
We just introduced a pair of cores at IP Japan in Yokohama, JPEG
encoder and decoder cores called JPEG_Fast_E and JPEG_Fast_D. As
you might guess from their names, these cores offer competitively
quick hardware implementations of the popular JPEG image compression
standard.

Partner Profile:
Alma Technologies
Our new JPEG 2000 Encoder and several other cores are developed
by the graphics systems and VLSI design experts at Alma Technologies
S.A.
With founders including both PhDs and experienced, award-winning
designers, this rapidly-growing Greek start-up is well positioned
for the algorithmically challenging designs they specialize in:
image compression, multimedia, and cyptography. They've completed
a number a wide variety of ASIC and FPGA based projects, and offer
both IP development and custom design services.

FAQ:
How do you license a CAST core?
We try to make as simple as possible for you to get and start using
our cores.
First, we don’t ask for any royalties. The price you pay
up front for a license is the total price you pay.
Second, we license each core on a design basis, and the price
you pay allows you to use the core for any one specific design.
If you’re doing a prototype in an FPGA before a final implementation
in an ASIC, we consider that one design, and both implementations
are covered by your license.
Third, if you want to reuse the core for another design, we offer
a cost-effective reuse fee for this purpose.
