Athens, Greece Jule 01, 2013 Ajax Compilers, Inc., (http://www.ajaxcompilers.com) announces the availability of a free evaluation version for its flagship product, the HercuLeS high-level synthesis environment.
The free evaluation is provided upon request; submit a request to info@ajaxcompilers with "HercuLeS FREE evaluation" as part of the email subject. In order for the request to be processed, do not forget to include the Ethernet MAC address of your preferred machine, where HercuLeS HLS will be installed. Currently, a Windows XP SP2/SP3 release is available with support for Windows 7 and 32-bit Linux due around July 20, 2013.
According to Nikolaos Kavvadias, Ph.D., cofounder, CEO of Ajax Compilers: "HercuLeS enables a seamless user experience from algorithm to hardware implementation. HercuLeS uses a bit-accurate typed-assembly language for whole program descriptions and supports the manipulation of a number of SSA-like (Static Single Assignment) forms. It employs a modular, plug-in structure where frontends, analyses and optimizations can be added as self-contained external modules upon the core HLS engine. Further, HercuLeS does not rely on code templates since it uses a purely graph-based backend and utilizes open specifications such as Graphviz throughout the HLS process. The generated HDL code is completely vendor- and technology-independent. It is human-readable and allows for automatic third-party, IP integration through an open process.
As part of our overall marketing strategy, we decided to offer a free version of HercuLeS in order to introduce our product to the users. There exist three licensing plans for HercuLeS: FREE, BASIC and FULL, with increasing number of features. It should be noted that we have not posed any time limitation to any version. The BASIC and FULL versions are available under competitive pricing schemes, especially if you take account the extent of provided support."
