PolyCore Software, Inc.,

a California corporation with its core R&D in Belgium, was founded in 2003 to provide run-time solutions and development tools to ease the development of new applications and migration of existing code to multi-core and multi-processor systems. Reprogrammable multi-core and multi-processor systems are flexible and provide performance and power consumption advantages at reasonable production costs, but they substantially increase software complexity, in particular for heterogeneous systems. Performance and power consumption are important in many applications but they are absolutely critical in multi-media enabled handheld devices and 3G base stations, primary target markets for PolyCore Software, where heterogeneous multi-core/processor platforms are already a de facto standard today.

Simplification of multi-core programming requires new and adapted software platforms to manage the additional complexity and reduce time to market, while optimizing the overall system behaviour. PolyCore Software's multi-core platform includes a real-time OS enabled inter-core communication run-time, and system development tools and dynamic system management tools will be released in stages over next 2-3 years. The platform will be integrated with EDA tools to balance the flexibility of embedded software with the performance of custom hardware.

Products

Poly-Messenger™, & Poly-Generator™, PolyCore Software’s Inter-Processor Communication Framework (IPCF) and configuration tool, and initial product offerings, abstracts the communication mechanism from the application developer and provides a unified application interface. Poly-Messenger will allow the developer to change the design late in the process, to move the application with minimal effort to next generation hardware, by reconfiguration. To provide a complete run-time software platform, Poly-Messenger is integrated with real-time operation systems.
