Xilinx is now shipping ISE Design Suite 11.1, which it describes as a 'major milestone' in the delivery of targeted design platforms.

FPGA software shippingThe latest release of the software has four domain specific design configurations: Logic, DSP, Embedded, and System editions. Each provides a complete fpga design flow tailored for the user profile (engineer persona) and domain specific methodology and design environment requirements.
According to Xilinx, ISE 11.1 release shrinks development cycles by up to 50%, reduces dynamic power consumption by 10% on average and doubles tool performance for Virtex-5 and Spartan-3 based designs.
"[ISE 11.1] will be a key enabler for targeted design platforms," said Tom Feist, senior marketing director for ISE Design Suite at Xilinx. "We have focused on boosting productivity, with the goal of accelerating time to production by providing all the tools that designers need. The tools allow designers to be expert in what they do, not in fpgas."
