GiDEL uses Altera’s Stratix FPGAs in development systems

BANGALORE, INDIA: Altera Corp. announced its Stratix II, Stratix II GX and Stratix III FPGAs are featured in GiDEL’s next-generation PROC algorithm acceleration boards and the PC_X8 PCI Express (PCIe) adapter for the PROCxM prototyping systems. The high-performance Altera Stratix FPGAs allow GiDEL to integrate more functions and maximize system performance in its new development systems targeting PCIe applications and designers.

"Altera’s Stratix FPGA families enable our PROC development system to achieve leading-edge performance with maximum flexibility," said Reuven Weintraub, president and CEO of GiDEL. "With their high capacities and high system frequencies, the latest PROC development systems are advanced and compelling solutions for PCIe applications and designers."

Targeting PCIe-based embedded processing applications, GiDEL’s PROCStar III development system leverages one to four of Altera’s Stratix III FPGAs to provide hardware acceleration of users’ application-specific processing algorithms. The PROCStar III supports eight lanes of PCIe through a Stratix II GX FPGA.

GiDEL’s PROCel embedded processor board targets frame grabbers, digital signal processing (DSP) applications, and high-speed data acquisition, vision, imaging, and reconfigurable computing systems. The PROCel board meets the PCIe low-profile specification and features two Stratix FPGAs—a Stratix II FPGA for algorithm execution and a Stratix II GX FPGA for a high-speed, eight-lane PCIe interface to the host computer.
