CAST has developed very flexible licensing terms in collaboration with our customers over the years, resulting in mutually cost-effective solutions. Our competitors can’t come close to discussing licensing with as much understanding as CAST, and it is doubtful that the large IP providers will deviate from their single-project licensing structure at all.

Among lossless data compression algorithms, GZIP, ZSTD, LZ4, and Snappy have emerged as prominent contenders, each offering unique trade-offs in terms of compression ratio, speed, and resource utilization. This white paper evaluates these algorithms and their corresponding hardware cores, providing an in-depth comparison to help developers and system architects choose the optimal solution for their specific use case.

The CAST DO-254 certified SHDLC HDLC & SDLC Protocol Controller IP Core is an effective solution for replacing obsolete parts in legacy defense and other systems.
