Development of Gedae began in 1987. From there Gedae evolved out of the niche defense market need for complex, realtime multiprocessor software.
Currently, single processor technology is reaching its fundamental limits. In the good old days, single processor MHz doubled every 18-24 months making it easy for a programmer to wait for faster hardware. Like cheap oil, the days of increased single processor performance are gone. Processor vendors are looking for other ways to deliver increased performance such as multicores and systems-on-a-chip. The problem is these new hardware designs are hard to program.
The solution? Gedae! Gedae has been designed since its inception to automate the implementation of efficient complex applications for multiprocessor hardware. Multicores are really just multiprocessor systems on a chip, but with some additional programming challenges. Gedae has been proven effective solution on the most demanding systems in the world, fighter aircraft radars, and can be used as a general purpose development environment to program any compute intense digital system. Gedae is currently positioned to pave the way for programming multicores and heterogeneous systems.
