Mentor Embedded Sourcery Offers MATLAB, ARM Support
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Dec. 10 – Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced the availability of its latest Mentor Embedded Sourcery VSIPL++ product. The Sourcery VSIPL++ product adds support for ARM v7 Cortex A with NEON single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processing platforms, and an interface to MATLAB for signal and image processing algorithm conversion. This MATLAB interface allows users to easily convert algorithm models into VSIPL++ compliant C++ code and to verify the correct function of the deployed code on a specific target system.
The Sourcery VSIPL++ product is an open standard, high-level C++ image and signal processing library for high performance computing (HPC) applications. The new product allows users to express algorithms in high-level C++ code, to improve application speed performance and software development productivity for signal and image processing algorithms used in embedded systems while simultaneously ensuring application portability across a wide variety of compute platforms. Key applications for VSIPL++ include radar for military-aerospace, medical diagnostic imaging, and computer vision for industrial control and automotive markets.
Mentor Graphics and the Object Management Group (OMG) have been working closely on advancing the VSIPL++ specification as a global standard for compute-intensive applications targeting embedded systems. Last month, the OMG officially adopted the VSIPL++ specification, marking a smooth and rapid integration of the High Performance Embedded Computing Software Initiative (HPEC-SI) efforts and the OMG Technology Adoption Process. The overall mission of HPEC-SI is software portability to enable “write-once/run-anywhere” capability for high-performance embedded computing applications.
“VSIPL++ is an important step forward for interoperable, portable, reusable applications in the high-performance computing space, the last bastion of non-portable applications,” said Richard Mark Soley, chairman and CEO of the Object Management Group. “There’s no reason developers for HPEC systems should live without the write-once/run-anywhere standards deployed in other markets, and Mentor Graphics Corporation’s leadership role in creating VSIPL++ stands out in support of HPEC developers.”
“Our Mentor Embedded team is proud to be a key contributor to OMG’s initiative to standardize the VSIPL++ specification,” said Glenn Perry, general manager, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. “We expect that the newest enhancements to the Sourcery VSIPL++ product, which incorporate this standard, will benefit the growing number of developers working on compute-intensive applications.”

Simulations Sail into the Shipyard
As far as modeling and simulation are concerned, nautical transportation isn’t one of the first things to come to mind. Still, it presents a unique use case for computer-integrated manufacturing, as the focus of the modeling and simulation is on the construction process itself. By coordinating the insertion of massive hull blocks, it not only streamlines construction, but it improves safety as well.
