SUPERCOMPUTING 2006, Tampa, FL — November 13, 2006 — Reconfigurable Computing leader DSPlogic today announced that it is collaborating with DRC Computer to simplify software acceleration using FPGAs. DSPlogic’s Reconfigurable Computing Toolbox, a high-performance, rapid programming environment for reconfigurable computers will extend support and code portability to DRC’s Reconfigurable Processor Unit (RPU) and development systems. Together, DSPlogic’s RC Toolbox and DRC’s RPU can be used to greatly speed up a wide range of computationally intensive commercial and defense related applications.
“We are very pleased to expand the portability of the Reconfigurable Computing Toolbox to include DRC’s leading-edge computing platforms,” says Mike Babst, President of DSPlogic. “I am confident that our rapid graphical programming language will help software programmers, without any knowledge of hardware design, extract the highest performance from the DRC platforms.”
“DSPlogic has been providing programming solutions for the most demanding high-performance applications. We are most pleased to have established a partnership with DSPlogic and have their toolbox available to customers looking for the most powerful RPU co-processing system available,” said Clay Marr, DRC’s VP Sales & Marketing.

About the Reconfigurable Computing Toolbox
The Reconfigurable Computing Toolbox for MATLAB®/Simulink® is a high-performance, rapid graphical programming environment for hybrid CPU/FPGA computing platforms. The RC Toolbox removes the performance, productivity and portability barriers to FPGA computing. From high-performance supercomputers to embedded systems, the RC Toolbox supports a wide variety of commercial and defense applications, including software acceleration, finance, informatics, molecular dynamics, oil exploration, signal processing, and software defined radio.
About DRC
DRC delivers complete solutions for compute-intensive problems and for accelerating high-performance applications in a tightly coupled coprocessing environment. DRC is the leading provider of coprocessor systems that plug directly into a systems processor socket. Offloading CPU-intensive software subroutines to hardware in a DRC RPU (Reconfigurable Processing Unit) makes applications run many times faster than ordinary solutions connected to a peripheral bus. Coprocessor bandwidth and latency bottlenecks are completely eliminated. The company’s RPU and Development Systems also solve the high-performance computing industry's growing physical limitations of heat, clock speed, and density. Industry leaders Cray, AMD, Xilinx and Microway, are promoting, deploying and supporting DRC solutions to their customers. More information about DRC is available at www.drccomputer.com.
