Expert Adds DRC's Coprocessor coprocessor Additional processor used in some personal computers to perform specialized tasks such as extensive arithmetic calculations or processing of graphical displays. Platform to Its FPGA-Based Product Portfolio SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- DRC DRC Democratic Republic of Congo DRC Down (Stage) Right Center DRC Director(ate) of Reserve Components DRC Disability Rights Commission (United Kingdom) Computer Corporation, a leading provider of coprocessor systems, today extends its Reconfigurable Processor Units (RPUs([TM])) to the European marketplace with the announcement of a partnership with Synective Labs of Gothenburg, Sweden. Synective Labs offers high-performance computing solutions, based on reconfigurable technologies, and will help deliver the preeminent benefits of DRCs RPUs, including acceleration, space, power, and cost efficiencies, to European companies. The RPUs from DRC plug directly into server/workstation processor sockets for direct access to adjacent Double Data Rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) memory and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron([TM]) processors at full HyperTransport([TM])speed and ultra-low latency. Powered with the Xilinx Virtex([TM])-4 series of FPGAs, DRC RPUs offer tremendous application acceleration capabilities. Synective Labs specializes in large-scale FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. systems and reconfigurable computing that speeds compute-intensive calculations. The company will help DRC customers port their applications to the DRC reconfigurable platform. "Synective Labs' expertise in reconfigurable computing makes it an excellent partner to help us deliver acceleration technologies to customers throughout Europe," said Clay Marr, vice president of sales and marketing at DRC. "Synective Labs adds a local presence for DRC's complete solutions and will provide high-caliber development services and support to our customers." "The DRC reconfigurable coprocessors complement Synective Labs' other offerings, enabling us to reach new customers and markets," said Magnus Peterson, Synective Labs' chief marketing officer. "Our experience in the FPGA field will help customers take full advantage of this acceleration technology."

About DRC DRC delivers complete solutions for compute-intensive problems and for accelerating high-performance applications in a tightly coupled coprocessing environment. DRC is the leading provider of coprocessor systems that plug directly into a systems processor socket. Offloading CPU-intensive software subroutines to hardware in a DRC Reconfigurable Processor Unit (RPU RPU Rochester Public Utilities (Rochester, NY) RPU Revenue Per User (telecommunications) RPU Remote Processing Unit RPU Ray Processing Unit (computer graphics; ray tracing) ) makes applications run many times faster than ordinary solutions connected to a peripheral bus. Coprocessor bandwidth and latency bottlenecks are all but eliminated. The company's RPU and development systems also solve the high-performance computing industry's growing physical limitations of heat, clock speed, and density. Industry leaders Cray, AMD, Xilinx and Microway are promoting, deploying and supporting DRC solutions to their customers. In addition, leading EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. providers Celoxica, CebaTech, DSPlogic, Impulse Accelerated Technologies Impulse Accelerated Technologies, Inc. is a privately held company providing software development tools for embedded systems and high performance computing, and in particular for applications based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices. , Mitrionics, and Synplicity provide development software supporting the DRC RPU.
