Akya reveals dynamically reconfigurable logic technology

IP-based offering reduces risk and increases flexibility of custom chip designs.

By Graham Prophet, EDN Europe -- EDN, 5/28/2009

Akya is a UK-based start-up that is offering IC-designers IP (intellectual property) to include reconfigurable logic on their ASSPs or ASICs. Akya will deliver both reconfigurable logic fabric, and IP blocks to execute commonly required functions on that fabric.

The company’s CEO, Colin Dente, says that the reconfigurable logic can be a part of a larger chip design, or can form the basis of a complete IC. Akya calls its technology ART2, and says that its architecture separates dataflow and control logic to simplify design and implementation of reconfigurable structures.
