\section{Recore Systems}
Recore Systems is a relatively young semiconductor company based in Enschede,
the Netherlands. It emerged as the result of research at the University of
Twente and focuses on developing hardware IP blocks for use in semiconductor
devices.  The main product of Recore is the Montium Tile Processor, a low
power, high performance reconfigurable processor aimed at low-power DSP
applications.  The Montium will be discussed in more detail in the next section.

Recore aims to provide a full solution for semiconductor manufacturers and their
customers, by providing IP blocks such as the Montium, tools for working with
them such as a compiler, an IDE and simulation environments and sample programs
and DSP libraries to ease application development. Currently, all of these
components are still in a development stage, but already used internally and at
the University of Twente.

The activities of Recore and the employees working on them are roughly divisible
into three disciplines: Hardware design, tooling development and DSP
engineering. This distinction is not a very strict or physical one: most work is
the result of a coordinated effort.
