Major Release of 3L's Diamond Multiprocessor Tool-Suite Accelerates the Design, Verification and Implementation of Multiprocessor Systems.

EDINBURGH, UK - 17 June 2009 - 3L, the Multiprocessor Design Company, today announced immediate availability of Diamond 3.2, the latest and most powerful release of its Diamond multiprocessor tool-suite.  This release of Diamond sets a new standard in complex multiprocessor design performance, and dramatically improves designer productivity.

3L joins the Texas Instruments Developer Network to provide multiprocessor design solution

3L provides its diamond multiprocessor tool suite and integrated TCP/IP stack to designers using TI DSPs and brings multi-processing systems to market faster and at lower cost

EDINBURGH, UK - 20 MAY 2009 - 3L, the Multiprocessor Design Company, announced today that it has joined the Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) Developer Network as a provider of multiprocessor design solutions.  The announcement strengthens 3L's multiprocessor design flow targeting TI digital signal processors (DSPs) and offers tighter integration between 3L's Diamond multiprocessor tool suite and the TI portfolio of DSPs as well as Code Composer StudioTM (CCStudio) integrated development environment (IDE).

With more designers choosing TI DSP for multi-processor systems development, 3L's Diamond tool-suite allows designers to accelerate the creation of multiprocessor applications through highly targeted design automation coupled with a powerful model that simplifies the description of efficient multi-processor systems. 

Integrated into the 3L Diamond Multiprocessor Tool-Suite, 3L and DFCDesign Announce 'Diamond Enabled' TCP/IP Stack Optimized for Gigabit Performance and Multiprocessing Systems.

EDINBURGH, UK - 10 March 2009 - 3L, the Multiprocessor Design Company and DFCDesign, a specialist provider of custom embedded systems and IP, today announced the integration of Diamond TCP, a full function, high performance TCP/IP networking stack into the 3L Diamond multiprocessor tool-suite.

Optimized for multiprocessing and Gigabit Ethernet the stack supports the low level TCP, UDP, IP, IGMP, ICMP and ARP stack protocols.  Diamond TCP provides multiprocessor designers with a high-performance stack that delivers the high data rates required in processor intensive applications such as high-end video and imaging, wireless base stations and networking.

To drive network connectivity, the stack's on-chip EMAC (Ethernet Media Access Control) provides the Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interface.  The protocol overhead is light touch at 10% and stack configuration and deployment is seamless through its integration into the Diamond IDE and tight interoperability with TI's Code Composer Studio.

Scientists at Canada's National Research Council Use the 3L Diamond Multiprocessor Tool-Suite to Dramatically Reduce the Design Time of a Broad-band Spectroscopic Data Acquisition System Implemented on Sundance Multiprocessing Hardware

EDINBURGH, UK - 19 January 2009 - 3L, the Multiprocessor Design Company, today announced that a new broad-band spectroscopic data acquisition system has been built and deployed for the 26-m radiotelescope of the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) in Penticton, Canada.
