On many architectures:
- DSP processors
- including TI, Freescale, Analog Devices, and others
- General purpose processors
- including Intel XScale, ARM- and MIPS-based processors, and others
In many languages:
- assembly language, high-level languages, and mixed high-level/assembly
Depth of experience
BDTI’s core competence is in optimization.
- Optimization is essential for embedded applications. Why?
- Competitive products require minimal CPU and memory usage—and minimal power consumption
- Real-time constraints pose unique challenges
- But embedded software is difficult to optimize. Why?
- Optimizations are architecture-dependent
- Substitution or modification of algorithms may be required
- Overall software architecture is key
BDTI has the expertise to deliver highly optimized code. To do so, BDTI employs a multi-level approach to optimization.
- High level optimization techniques:
- Algorithmic transforms
- Memory access
- Data ordering
- Low-level optimization techniques:
- Using high-level languages (C or C++)
- Using assembly language
- Power optimization
The result is the most efficient code for your architecture and application.
Solid track record
Among the many successes we have helped our clients achieve—
- BDTI Enables Product Differentiation
A major cell phone handset manufacturer called upon BDTI to implement an MP3 decoder within an extremely limited MIPS budget on its ARM-based baseband processor. BDTI implemented optimizations at multiple levels—system, algorithm, and software—that enabled the client to add MP3 playback to an existing cell phone design with no hardware changes. This gave the client an advantage over its competitors in a fiercely competitive market.
- BDTI Ensures Successful Startup Launch
For a startup company that had developed a unique, highly efficient video codec, BDTI developed a highly optimized implementation that runs within an extremely low MIPS budget on a low-cost handset processor. With the highly optimized implementation of its IP, the startup met the requirements of its customers, opening up a new market for its technology and ensuring the viability of its product—and the company.
