Escala is a design platform aimed at accelerating the design of complex algorithms. It is an EDA tool set that allows users to generate synthesizable IP cores from C/C++. EScala technology also offers the unique option to accommodate bug fixes and feature enhancements after tape-out. EScala raises the design abstraction from RTL to the next level and hence increases productivity and reduces the design cost of today's high performance SoCs. EScala is an ARM companion technology that is aimed at designing the HW accelerators sitting next to ARM cores like WiFi baseband accellerators, complex DSP algorithms or other functions that are today mostly done with custom RTL. EScala supports an easy integration into the AMBA ecosystem. For ARM customers EScala is interesting for those parts of moderns SoCs that today need hand written RTL code.
