Altera

Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) is a Silicon Valley manufacturer of PLDs (programmable logic devices). The company offered its first programmable logic device in 1984. PLDs can be reprogrammed during the design cycle as well as in the field to perform multiple functions, and they support a fairly fast design process. Altera's main products are the Cyclone, Arria GX and Stratix series of FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), the MAX series of CPLDs (complex programmable logic devices), the HardCopy series of ASICs (ASIC) and Quartus II design software.

The Stratix series FPGAs are the company's largest, highest bandwidth devices, with up to 1.1 million logic elements, integrated transceivers at up to 28 Gbit/s, up to 1.6 Tbit/s of serial switching capability, up to 1,840 GMACs of signal-processing performance, and up to 7 x72 DDR3 memory interfaces at 800 MHz. Cyclone series FPGAs and SoC FPGAs are the company's lowest cost, lowest power FPGAs, with variants offering integrated transceivers up to 5 Gbit/s. In between these two device families are Arria series FPGAs and SoC FPGAs, which provide a balance of performance, power, and cost for mid-range applications such as remote radio heads, video conferencing equipment, and wireline access equipment. Arria FPGAs have integrated transceivers up to 10 Gbit/s.

The Beginning Song

Island in the city, music in the air
Waiting for the feeling, and
surprise: it's right there!
I dressed up in a cloth of lion
I wanted to avoid growing thin, so
That I couldn't blame myself not
running faster
I took my courage, I felt so hungry
And hunger is a greed that makes
you achieve
Something more than you are in
CHORUS I:
I want my life, you'd better beware
of my mind
But you are here and this is a
hungry lion dance
I wanna hit and run and you'd
better beware of my kind
'coz you're bit green and I know
well what I've come here to take
I saw a big field
I saw the moonshine
I saw the black figures in horizon
Don't you be afraid of me babe
I'm faster than your fright
You shiny angel, wearing crystals
You will recognize the rebel
without a pause
Still I'll wait, on the final scene
before the edge
CHORUS 2:
I want your love, you'd better
beware of my life
'coz you are near and this is a
hungry lion dance
I wanna hit and run without an
easy way
I'm hungry for you love and I
really don't like to pass you
Island in the city, music in the air
Waiting for the feeling, and
surprise: it's right there!
CHORUS 3:
I want your love you'd better
beware of my mind
'coz you're so green and I know
well where I'm aiming to
I wanna split and run without an
easy way
But still you are here and I really
