CPU Tech and IBM Collaborate on New Class of Semiconductor Devices; Acalis(TM) Programmable Semiconductor Devices add Flexibility, Capacity and Software Compatibility to Multi-Core Processing Solutions
"Size, power and throughput limitations associated with microprocessors are driving the adoption of multi-core computing," said Edward King, CPU Tech's CEO. "SoC technology can effectively solve these problems. However, transition to the multi-core era presents the additional challenge of software compatibility. Acalis, the world's first FPMC product line, can directly execute unmodified legacy application software and simultaneously execute IBM PowerPC multi-core software on a single chip device."
This new generation of programmable semiconductor devices combines the flexibility of FPGAs with the speed and capacity of ASICs. The Acalis family is applicable to a broad range of general purpose and embedded computing systems. Customers can exploit the functionality, performance and compatibility characteristics of a single FPMC across multiple product lines.
Combining CPU Tech's experience and IP with IBM's PowerPC technology will provide customers a programmable, high performance, SoC solution capable of helping customers modernize legacy systems into leading edge systems," said Ron Martino, Director of PowerPC Standard Products, IBM Technology Collaboration Solutions. "We are excited about working with CPU Tech and their new Acalis product offerings."
