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 +energy, 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 manufactures 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 by +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.
