Overview

CebaTech is focused on delivering hardware solutions that accelerate data and storage networking applications.  The hardware solutions developed by CebaTech relieve protocol execution bottlenecks that reside higher in the protocol stack than traditionally addressed by hardware accelerators. 

Solutions provided by CebaTech include CebaRIP IP Cores^TM for integration into ASICs and FPGAs, CebaSW Models^TM for virtual prototyping and early software integration and test of CebaTech's hardware solutions, and Ceba IP Services^TM providing turnkey custom hardware and firmware that meets specific needs of the customer.

CebaRIP Cores: Rapidly tunable, easy-to-integrate Verilog IP cores for ASICs and FPGAs. Example protocols include: GZIP compression, GUNZIP decompression, Multiple variants of AES encryption and decryption, 3-DES, SHA-1 Hashing, SHA-256 Hashing, MD5 Hashing, AES-GMAC Hashing, and others.

CebaSW Models: Complete software models of all of CebaTech's hardware solutions. Models can be used for virtual prototyping, early pre-hardware integration, test, and performance analysis.

Ceba IP Services: Custom, turnkey design of IP cores, FPGAs, ASICs, and complete subsystems using CebaRIP cores as the base of technology and adding customer specified function and behavior to realize highly integrated complete hardware and firmware solutions.

CebaTech understands that "one size doesn't fit all" when it comes to IP cores and turnkey hardware.  Even in the context of a single protocol, the customer requirements for interfaces, throughput, latency, area, power, and a host of other critical parameters can vary greatly. Providing a fixed set of pre-determined configurations of a hand written Verilog IP core not only falls short of meeting customer requirements, but often leads to lengthy integration issues, mismatches in application performance, and ultimately can increase the overall time to market that the IP core was intending to shorten.

Figure 1 CebaTech's Software-Centric C2R Design Flow

Solutions developed by CebaTech provide the flexibility and adaptability needed by customers throughout the entire development process to achieve the fastest time-to-market with the right solution the very first time. Flexibility and adaptability is accomplished using CebaTech's innovative C2R Compiler^TM and development flow (see Figure 1). C2R^TM is an advanced system level design automation tool that compiles ANSI C to Verilog RTL and System C. Using the software centric C2R^TM development flow enables hardware realization of some of the most complex application protocols in the data networking and storage domains.  Customers can specify unique requirements for performance, throughput, interfaces, and a host of other key parameters as well as rapidly explore different system level architectural trade-offs.
