Technological Transfer: XtremLogic Start-Up

The XtremLogic start-up (http://xtremlogic.com/ ) was initiated, initially with the name Zettice, at the end of 2010 by Alexandru Plesco and Christophe Alias, after the PhD thesis of Alexandru Plesco under the guidance of Christophe Alias, Alain Darte and Tanguy Risset. The goal of XtremLogic is to build on the disruptive technologies emerging from the polyhedral compilation community, and particularly the results obtained in Compsys, to provide the HPC market with efficient and communication-optimal circuit blocks (IP) for FPGA.

The compiler technology transferred to XtremLogic (see Sections  6.2 and  7.5 ) is the result of a tight collaboration between Christophe Alias and Alexandru Plesco. XtremLogic is one way to spread the polyhedral technology to industry. In 2015, XtremLogic was supported by the Rhône Développement Initiative 2015 (loan).
