Lisa Schmidt: What is the Best Way to Take Algorithmic Design to Implementation?

To schedule a private demonstration of Catalytic RMS, contact Lisa Schmidt, Catalytic's vice president of marketing, at (650) 846-2555, Ext. 220, or via email at lisa@catalyticinc.com.

While DeltaFX targets software developers, Catalytic RMS is primarily aimed at hardware designers, said Lisa Schmidt, VP of marketing at Catalytic."We found that there's a vast amount of interest in Matlab for hardware design and that people really needed simulation acceleration in the Matlab environment," she said.

In the recent EE Times/Deutsche Bank 2005 EDA survey, 32 percent of the chip designers and 38 percent of the PCB designers who responded said they use Matlab, and The Mathworks topped the user-satisfaction survey among board designers.

To reach out to hardware designers, Schmidt said, Catalytic RMS extends that company's coverage of the Matlab language to include constructs such as structures and globals.It provides even faster simulation than DeltaFX, she said, along with support for Linux and distributed workstation simulation.

"Another major difference is that people doing software design are building things in 8bit increments, but hardware designers need variable bit widths, which Catalytic RMS supports," Schmidt said.

Matlab, Schmidt said, is a very rich language, but it's an interpreted language that doesn't offer fast simulation.

Lisa Schmidt is now the marketing vice president at Catalytic.

In the recent EE Times/Deutsche Bank 2005 EDA survey, 32 percent of the chip designers and 38 percent of the pc-board designers who responded said they use Matlab, and The Mathworks topped the user satisfaction survey among board designers (see June 13, page 24).

"Another major difference is that people doing software design are building things in 8-bit increments, but hardware designers need variable bit widths, so Catalytic RMS supports that," Schmidt said.

Matlab, Schmidt said, is a very rich language, but it's an interpreted language that doesn't offer fast simulation.
