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 section +\ref{Montium}. + +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 integrated development environment (IDE) and +simulation environments and sample programs and digital signal +processing (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 +divided 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.
