These projects are conducted through tight cooperation 110 110 with national and international companies and organizations (e.g. France 111 Telecom CNET, MATRA, CEA, ASTRIUM, THALES Com., THALESAvionics, AIRBUS,111 Telecom CNET, MATRA, CEA, ASTRIUM, \thales Com., \thales Avionics, AIRBUS, 112 112 BarCo, STMicroelectronics, Alcatel-Lucent ...). Results of those or former 113 113 projects are for example the high-level synthesis tool GAUT, the UHLS … … 154 154 Even if the preferred dissemination policy for the Coach design flow will be the free software policy, 155 155 (following the SoCLib model), the SoC department is ready to support start-ups : Six startup companies 156 (including FLEXRAS) have been created by former researchers from the SoC department of LIP6 between 1997 and 2002.156 (including \zied) have been created by former researchers from the SoC department of LIP6 between 1997 and 2002. 157 157 158 158 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% … … 213 213 \subsubsection{\thales} 214 214 215 \thales is a world leader for mission critical information systems, with activities in 3 216 core businesses: aerospace (with all major aircraft manufacturers as customers), defence, 217 and security (including ground transportation solutions). It employs 68000 people 218 worldwide, and is present in 50 countries. \thales develops its strategic capabilities in 219 component, software and system engineering and architectures through its R \& T organization. 220 Its six Divisions manage their strategy and technical co-ordination per domain with 221 hundreds of Units in these Divisions developing their technical activities in close 222 relationship with their market. In this environment, \thales Research \& Technology 223 operates at the corporate level as the technical community network architect, in charge of 224 developing upstream and \thales-wide R \& T activities, with vision and visibility. 225 In support of \thales applications, TRT's mission is also to anticipate and speed up 226 technology transfer from research to development in Divisions by developing collaborations 227 in R\&T. 228 229 Thales is international, but Europe-centered. Research \& Development activities are 230 disseminated, and corporate Research and Technology is concentrated in Centres in France, 231 the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. 232 The R\&T in Thales emphasizes more particularly on critical information systems, 233 processing, control and cognitive systems, and autonomous systems. 234 235 A key mission of our R\&T centres is to have a bi-directional transfer, or âimpedance 236 matchingâ function between the scientific research network and the corresponding 237 businesses. Benefiting from its presence and visibility on the international scene in 238 advanced sciences, technology and software, \thales Research \& Technology is perceived as 239 a valuable partner of the best research centres (academic or industrial) through 240 recognized scientists and research engineer participation in collaborative projects. 241 The TRTâs Information Science and Technology Group is able to develop innovative solutions 242 along the information chain exploiting sensors data, through expertise in: computational 243 architectures in embedded systems, typically suitable for autonomous system environments, 244 mathematics and technologies for decision involving information fusion and cognitive 245 processing, and cooperative technologies including man system interaction. 246 The Embedded System Laboratory (ESL) of TRT involved in the COACH project is part of the 247 Information Science and Technology Group. 248 249 Like other labs of TRT, ESL is in charge of making the link between the needs from Thales 250 business units and the emerging technologies, in particular through assessment and 251 de-risking studies. 252 It has a long experience on parallel architectures design, in particular on SIMD 253 architectures used for image processing and signal processing applications and on 254 reconfigurable architectures. 255 ESL is also strongly involved in studies on programming tools for these types of 256 architectures and has developed the SpearDE tool used in this project. 257 The laboratory had coordinated the FP6 IST MORPHEUS project on reconfigurable technology, 258 being highly involved in the associated programming toolset. 259 260 The team is also involved in 261 the FP6 IST FET AETHER project on self-adaptability technologies and coordinates national 262 projects on MPSoC architecture and tools like the \verb+Ter@ops+ project (P\^{o}le de 263 Comp\'{e}titivit\'{e} \verb+System@tic+) dedicated to the design of a MPSoC for intensive 264 computing embedded systems. 265 215 266 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 216 267 \subsubsection{\zied} 268 269 \zied is an innovative start-up specialized in the conception of configurable circuits 270 and the development of CAD tools. \zied provides a complete front-to-back-end generator 271 of "hardware" reprogrammable IP cores that can be embedded in ASIC and ASSP SoC designs. 272 \zied solution is based on a patented FPGA architecture delivering an unprecedented 273 level of logic density. This high capacity is accessible using a traditional RTL flow from 274 Verilog/VHDL synthesis all the way to bitstream generation. 275 276 \zied is a spin-off from LIP6 (Laboratoire Informatique Paris 6) and was awarded at the 277 French National Competition for Business Startup and Innovative Technology in 2007 and 278 2009 in âemergenceâ and âcreationâ categories respectively. 217 279 218 280 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
