SAN JOSE, Calif., May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera, now part
of Intel, today announced the production release of the new
Quartus® Prime Pro design software, which further
accelerates FPGA design performance and design team productivity.
The Quartus Prime Pro software is architected to support the next
generation of high capacity, highly integrated FPGAs from Intel,
which will drive innovation across the cloud, data center, Internet
of Things, and the networks that connect them. The capabilities
built into the latest software release accelerate large FPGA design
flows by delivering unprecedented compile time improvements,
versatile design entry methods and simplified intellectual property
(IP) integration.
"Quartus Prime Pro design software builds upon decades of
software innovations that help to shorten FPGA design cycles and
make our tools easier to use," said Bernhard Friebe, director of FPGA software and
IP marketing at Intel. "The software tools, IP cores and design
entry methods that we offer will broaden and strengthen Intel's
FPGA user base, while significantly increasing designer
productivity and enhancing the overall customer experience."
The Quartus Prime Pro software v16.0 delivers a design
methodology that is optimized for large designs with more than one
million logic elements. At the same time, users can leverage the
software's incremental optimization feature to reduce design
iterations and accelerate timing closure.
Quartus Prime Pro Software v16.0 highlights:
- Production release of Quartus Prime Pro Edition with
hierarchical databases, targeting the next generation of high
capacity, highly integrated FPGAs from Intel.
- Production release of BluePrint platform designer, which
reduces design iterations by 10X by allowing designers to make pin
assignments and clock planning early in their design.
- Qsys Pro system integration tool with a hierarchical framework
to support multiple design entry formats and simplify IP
integration.
- Incremental optimization support to reduce design
iterations.
- Partial reconfiguration support for Arria 10 FPGAs &
SoCs.
