Objective
The objective of this project is to assess, optimise and transfer new design methodologies for complex, high performance digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms on ASICs to the industrial and academic community of the Czech and Slovak Republics.
This will be achieved by
- creating centres of expertise in the Czech and Slovak Republics to perform research on new design methodologies for the realisation of systems on ASICs
- training designers of the Czech and Slovak systems industry in the development and extension of high level synthesis for DSP
- starting or rehabilitating collaboration between technical universities and industry in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
The project will also tackle problems which are identified by designers using the Cathedral synthesis environment, with emphasis on extensions towards the realisation of high performance systems.

The work transfers the Cathedral synthesis software developed in ESPRIT project 2260 (SPRITE).
PROGRESS AND RESULTS
A complete, transferable design path from high level system specification to foundry has been installed at the universities and in-depth training, support and engineering activities have taken place.
To be accepted by industry, the Cathedral synthesis must produce a chip whose area is comparable with the one produced by human experts. To achieve this objective, the development of a hardware address generation tool for high speed memory access has started, and a tool to optimise the interconnect in the processor network is under development.
INFORMATION DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES AND EXPLOITATION
A centre of competence, CEDO, has been established, which will demonstrate the applicability of the research results on relevant design problems of the industrial partners in the project. A first demonstrator is being designed with the industrial partner.
