SAN JOSE, Calif., and
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) and Retune DSP today announced that
Retune DSP's multi-microphone beamforming and echo cancellation
technology has been ported and optimized to Cadence® Tensilica®
HiFi DSPs for Audio/Voice/Speech. Optimized DSPs such as the
Tensilica HiFi DSP that are efficient, low power and high
performance are well suited for voice-processing applications.
"We are truly excited to partner with Cadence to deliver the
Voice Seeker beamforming and echo cancellation solution, as well as
our All Ears voice suite on the Tensilica HiFi DSP. This port
enables a wide range of consumers to benefit from our best-in-class
solutions for voice control and communication in everyday acoustic
environments," said Ulrik Kjems,

indication and integrated keyword voice
triggering."
Retune DSP is part of the growing ecosystem of Tensilica
partners who have ported their software to the HiFi architecture,
enabling semiconductor companies and systems OEMs to get up and
running quickly. Retune DSP's Voice Seeker and All Ears audio front
ends leverage Retune DSP's unique beamforming technology that

performance, significantly improved speech intelligibility and much
better overall user experiences. These solutions are ideal for
applications that require best-in-class voice control or
