FPGA design

QBayLogic provides FPGA design services for your outsourcing needs.  We provide:

• HDL programming (using CλaSH)
• IP core design
• Design modification

Although QBayLogic can handle all aspects of FPGA design, from data-oriented circuits to control-oriented circuits, we focus in particular on mapping tough mathematical algorithms to FPGAs. QBayLogic is exceptionally qualified qualified to do this for two reasons:

• Our team has a strong affinity with mathematics.
• Our technology, the CλaSH compiler, allows us to basically ¨write mathematical specifications in typewriter font¨, and formally derive an FPGA implementation that meets the performance criteria in a correct-by-construction manner.

Our CλaSH compiler significantly improves our productivity, allowing us to create designs in much shorter design cycles, resulting in:

• Much shorter time-to-market for your product.
• Highly competitive prices for our design services.

Application acceleration

FPGAs are an uncommon platform for acceleration of applications, due to the programming difficulties associated with the traditional hardware description languages for the FPGA platform: VHDL and/or Verilog.

Depending on the application however, FPGAs are a very interesting platform for acceleration:

• Complex data movements are translated to rearrangements of wire endpoints, instead of copying memory. Transposition of a matrix is for example a completely free operation on an FPGA.
• Operators can have custom precision to meet the error rates for the application.
• FPGAs are very low-power devices meaning that they can be used in environments where large cooling solutions are impractical, or can be tightly packed together in standard server environments.
• FPGAs can directly connect to peripherals such as 10GBit ethernet ports, providing unprecedented low latency networked computing.

Using our CλaSH compiler, instead of the traditional VHDL or Verilog languages, programming FPGA devices becomes significantly easier. In combination with our team´s strong affinity for mathematics, QBayLogic can straightforwardly accellerate your complex algorithms on FPGAs.
