Lantern Selects Denali

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Lantern Communications (San Jose, Calif.) has selected Databahn from Denali Software Inc. to address the high-performance memory subsystem requirements in Lantern's new optical Ethernet products. Databahn is a configurable memory processor for system-on-chip (SoC) designs that require high-bandwidth or high-performance memory subsystems. Databahn's configurable architecture speeds integration and helps Lantern reduce the time to market for its newest products for the fast-emerging metropolitan area network (MAN) market. In the Lantern design flow, designers use a Web-based interface to configure Databahn for optimal data transfer rates between the Lantern design and selected memory devices. After configuring Databahn for performance and memory component compatibility, designers automatically generate the Databahn intellectual property (IP) along with all the necessary test benches and memory simulation models required for a fast efficient integration with the SoC design. "Technology companies must move rapidly to keep pace with the voracious appetite for bandwidth," said Nader Vijeh, chief technical officer of Lantern. "Databahn gives us a time-to-market edge and a high level of confidence in our new designs." Lantern Communications Inc. Denali Software Inc.
