AT 43rd DESIGN AUTOMATION CONFERENCE (DAC) BOOTH #1140 Catalytic Inc. to Demonstrate at Design Automation Conference in San Francisco

Palo Alto, Calif. –– July 11, 2006 –– Catalytic Inc., a technology innovator focused on significantly accelerating signal processing algorithm design and implementation, will demonstrate Catalytic RMS (Rapid MATLAB Simulator) and offer private previews of two new products under development during the 43rd Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Booth #1140 from July 24-27 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Currently, implementing algorithms developed using MATLAB onto DSPs, FPGAs or ASICs can be a slow, error-prone, manual process. Catalytic’s products extend the use of MATLAB beyond a numerical analysis and visualization environment to enable fast algorithm verification and targeted implementation in both hardware and software.

To register for a demonstration during DAC, contact Larry Melling, Catalytic’s vice president of marketing, at (650) 846-2555, Ext. 245, or via email at larry@catalyticinc.com.
