Achieve Greater Designer Productivity
The idea of system design is to integrate different domains to better leverage
resources within the FPGA. With applications which rely more and more on
functions for Digital Signal Processing, or DSP, significant performance
benefits are possible through the ISE Design Suite: System Edition which enables
the use of accelerators which can be leveraged by the processor. In fact, one of
the big benefits of FPGA specific system design is the ability perform system
partitioning, managing the tradeoffs over what’s implemented in software and
what’s implemented in software. For many users, algorithms are not necessarily
optimized for low level HDL languages.
Attain Breakthrough Performance, Power and Cost Benefits
Create your own custom-processing platform while reducing your system cost by
consolidating external functions into an FPGA. Select the perfect balance of
feature and size for your system, and optimize hardware/software design
trade-offs for the best price-performance results that meet your exacting
requirements.
Focus on Design Differentiation
The ISE Design Suite: System Edition provides a comprehensive suite of
integrated development environment, software tools, configuration wizards, and
IP that facilitates your design and utilizes all of the flexibility offered by a
programmable platform. Xilinx CORE Generator™ System, included in all Editions
of the ISE Design Suite, accelerates design time by providing access to highly
parameterized Intellectual Properties (IP) for Xilinx FPGAs and is included in
the ISE Design Suite. The available user-customizable IP functions range in
complexity from commonly used functions, such as memories and FIFOs, to
system-level building blocks, such as filters and transforms. Using these IP
blocks can save days to months of design time. The highly optimized IP allows
FPGA designers to focus efforts on building designs quicker while helping bring
products to market faster.
