Tabula Announces the Availability of Stylus Compiler Version 2.7.2

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing move to help make network infrastructure systems more responsive to applications' dynamic needs, Tabula, Inc., announced today the availability of version 2.7.2 of its Stylus® compiler supporting its ABAX®² P-Series of devices.  The new capabilities of Stylus compiler include a 100G top-of-rack (ToR) switch reference design targeting next-generation datacenters, along with several new features aimed at further improving user experience.

4-Port 100G Top-of-Rack Switch Reference Design:

This reference design lays the foundation for an Ethernet switch development platform using ABAX² devices.  With the advance of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology for datacenters, there is a growing demand for silicon systems that support line-rate packet processing. This reference design demonstrates how the Spacetime® architecture combined with the ABAX² device's rich feature set and capabilities can be applied to these high-performance systems in the domain of 100 GbE packet processing and switching. This reference design consists of a collection of functional blocks which provides a platform for classification, filtering, forwarding and scheduling of packets on networks with 100 GbE interfaces.

More about Stylus compiler

Stylus compiler provides a synthesis, placement, and routing flow familiar to FPGA designers, using industry-standard RTL inputs and design constraints. The suite automatically exploits the unique advantages of Tabula's 3D Spacetime architecture, unleashing the ABAX² 3PLDs' unmatched capabilities and achieving unparalleled performance with surprising ease. The software integrates cutting-edge timing-closure technologies, including sequential timing, router-aware placement, and automatic co-optimization of performance and density.  In addition, to help users take full advantage of the ABAX² P-Series of device's unmatched embedded RAM capacity and throughput, Stylus compiler transparently infers multi-port memories (up to 24 ports) from RTL, automatically packing small user memories and folding wide user memories into the device's on-chip RAM blocks.
