- Data Analysis and Visualization Tool
GaugeViz is an information analysis and interpretation tool that works on bulk unsorted and unlabeled data to find patterns hidden ‘between’ data points. Gauge extends analyst capabilities by grouping similar data into clusters where their differences can be highlighted, and an analyst can develop an understanding of cause and effect within a local area. GaugeViz Tool…
- RISC-V Development Platform
A new version of our Trireme Platform is released. Trireme is a complete environment for RISC-V based design space exploration, testing, and deployment. Written in Verilog 2001 without any vendor-specific or 3rd party IP, it allows you to simulate, emulate, and boot Linux on directly generated or customized RTL cores.
