About Gleichmann Electronics Research

Gleichmann Electronics Research (GE-Research) was founded in October 2004 in Hagenberg, Austria with the goal to turn research prototypes into products. Having unconventional ideas, developing new, creative solutions as well as new and innovative products in close cooperation with universities and industrial partners is our daily challenge.

In close cooperation with the University of Hagenberg and other universities, GE-Research develops FPGA and ASIC design tools as well as System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions. The first Hardware Accelerator and Co-Simulator prototype was developed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Pfaff back in 1999. Since than it was a long and stony way to shipping the first Hardware Accelerator and Co-Simulator HAC1 in 2005 and soon after the HAC2 in 2006. At the same time GE Research successfully established its Hardware Prototyping and Evaluation system Hpe®_compact on the market. The SEmulator® combines these two product lines and turns them into one. Opposed to expensive high end hardware accelerators the SEmulator® is based on an emulation hardware, such as the configurable and customizable Hpe®_midi FPGA/ASIC prototyping system, extended with a fast PCI Express link to the Host PC. SEmulator® is a synthetic word that combines the words Simulation and Emulation. It describes the basic functionality of the SEmulator® very well: the SEmulator® provides bridging functionality between the domain of digital hardware simulation and the world of FPGA/ASIC prototyping.

Together with the Gleichmann Electronics design centre in Eching we employ more than 10 highly qualified engineers with many years experience in the field of FPGA and ASIC design. In 2007 GE-Research relocated to new facilities allowing aggressive growth for the years to come. GE-Research has formed many partnerships with companies to complement its know-how for complex and future-oriented solutions, e.g.

ALTERA for automotive infotainment and industrial reference platforms, ARM for FPGA based processor platforms and other FPGA/ASIC applications, ALDEC and Mentor Graphics in the field of digital simulation ARM, ASICS, Aeroflex Gaisler AB, Evatronix and MorethanIP for IP solutions

to name just a few of them.
