Creation of the Zettice Start-Up

Participants : Christophe Alias, Alexandru Plesco [Compsys/Zettice] .

Following his PhD, Alexandru Plesco initiated a start-up on high-level synthesis for FPGAs, named Zettice, and based on the use and extension of tools/techniques developed in Compsys (for high-level code transformations) and Arénaire (for the development of pipelined operators). The results described in Sections  5.7 , 5.8 , 5.9 , and  6.4 are directly linked to this effort.

The incubation of Zettice is supported by Crealys, the “Région Rhône-Alpes”, and Inria: Alexandru Plesco is “ingénieur technologie and innovation” (ITI) since October 2011. Zettice should be created around April 2013. Christophe Alias is in charge of the scientific collaboration between Compsys and Zettice.
