Impulse Accelerated Technologies has been selected as one of six finalists for the 2006 EE Times Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards, in the category of Ultimate Products of the Year, Logic Interface and Programmable Logic. The winners of this prestigious award will be announced at the EE Times ACE Awards gala on 4th April 2006 at the Fairmont Hotel San Jose during the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley.
EE Times ACE Awards finalists were picked out of a pool of more than 600 entries submitted for seven categories of awards.
The Ultimate Products of the Year is awarded to the most significant product introduced in the last 12 months in each of seven categories, as determined by large-scale peer review comprising EE Times and eeProductCenter readers.
'We are proud to announce Impulse as a finalist for the ACE Awards', said Brian Fuller, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of EE Times.

Software optimises C-based FPGA designs
Impulse Accelerated Technologies has released its CoDeveloper Pro optimisation and debugging software to complement its CoDeveloper C-to-FPGA compiler
'This nomination recognises the importance of smaller companies like Impulse, who often lead our industry in developing innovative new technologies'.
Impulse was founded in 2002 as a privately funded startup, and two years later released its flagship product, CoDeveloper with Impulse C.
According to David Pellerin, CTO and cofounder of Impulse: 'Impulse C represents a new way of thinking about software-to-hardware design'.
'Rather than attempt to recreate existing hardware design methods in a C-like syntax, our goal was to create an environment in which software programmers can use their existing C programming expertise, and their existing C tools, to create FPGA-accelerated systems'.
This focus on software programmers is evident throughout the design of Impulse products, as well as in their pricing.
Impulse has generally avoided using the term electronic system level (ESL) design, preferring instead to promote itself as a software development tool for software programmers.
In 2005, Prentice Hall Technical Reference published the book 'Practical FPGA programming in C', authored by David Pellerin and Scott Thibault, highlighting the use of Impulse C for software-to-FPGA application development.
