TSI TelSys Launches 'LavaLogic' Business Unit
Business Editors
COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 1999--Montreal Exchange "TSI" - TSI TelSys Corporation today announced that its operating subsidiary, TSI TelSys, Inc., has renamed its reconfigurable computing division to "LavaLogic(tm)". The LavaLogic unit, which began as the reconfigurable computing division of TSI TelSys, Inc., in late 1997, will continue to focus on developing high productivity electronic design automation (EDA) software products. The unit's technical team consists of seven world-class system, integrated circuit and object-oriented software engineers. The LavaLogic unit is aiming to develop the first product for designers of ASICs and FPGAs (application specific integrated circuits and field programmable gate arrays) that lets them design in the Java(tm) language. Toby Bennett, Vice President of TSI TelSys, Inc. and General Manager of the LavaLogic business unit said "LavaLogic will be addressing the EDA industry's biggest headache: productivity. Chips keep getting denser and more complex, but design tools have not been keeping pace. "LavaLogic's products are meant to allow chip designers to write standard Java code and directly compile it into efficient hardware descriptions compatible with current design environments. By working at a higher level of abstraction in standard software environments, designers can achieve a dramatic boost in productivity." Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release contain forward looking statements that, due to uncertainties, may differ materially from actual results. Headquartered in Columbia, TSI TelSys is a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance, multi-mission satellite data processing systems for ground station operations and satellite test and integration.
