Mountain View, California-based Stretch, a fabless semiconductor developer, this week debuted a new family of processors that can be configured by software, making this the first design to embed powerful programmable logic in an off-the-shelf processor. The chip family — the S5000 — also includes a suite of development tools that let developers automatically configure and optimize the processor using only C/C++ code. “Embedded system developers no longer need to trade off performance, time-to-market and system costs,” said Gary Banta, CEO of Stretch.
