Hong Kong, November 20, 2013 – Altera Corporation today strengthened its intellectual property (IP) core portfolio with the addition of four new best-in-class IP cores to the company’s MegaCore IP library. These new best-in-class IP cores include an ultra-high performance and ultra-low latency 100G Interlaken, 100G Ethernet, 40G Ethernet and 10G Ethernet IP. The cores are optimized to deliver the highest performance, lowest latency and smallest resource utilization in the industry. Developers of data centers and networking equipment can leverage these versatile solutions to increase system bandwidth while differentiating their end system. The Interlaken and Ethernet IP cores, as well as other standard interface IPs, are currently available and fully supported in the latest release of the Quartus II software v13.1.
“By focusing on innovation, we have broken traditional barriers and tradeoffs in design by simultaneously lowering latency, increasing performance and reducing resource utilization, setting a new standard for best practices in designing high-performance IP cores,” said David Kehlet, vice president of IP design at Altera. “Moving forward, our customers will continue to see these best practices implemented as we release new and re-architected IP cores.”
