Tensilica plans chip research centre in Pune

Our Bureau

Bangalore , Feb. 9

CHIP IP design firm Tensilica Inc announced the setting up of its Indian subsidiary at Pune. Investment in the research and development (R&D) centre is $40 million over five years.

The facility can seat 50 engineers, who will work on the innovative configurable processor design methodology invented by Mr Chris Rowen, who worked at Intel, MIPS and the design re-use group at Synopsys.

The company already had an Offshore Design Centre in partnership with an unnamed design services company in Pune. "That helped us confirm that Pune was the right city and had the right quality of life and engineering talent for our projects," said Mr Rowen, President and CEO of Tensilica.

Tensilica's processors go into complex system-on-chip designs of electronic products. The engineers will work on IDE development for multiprocessors, DSP algorithm development, instruction extension compiler, product testing and application engineering.

The company offers Xtensa range of processors as well as the software IDE for designing and programming the chip.
