TeraForce Technology Launches Line of Rugged Products at Military & Aerospace Electronics Conference.Business Editors & High Tech Writers Military & Aerospace Electronics COTScon West 2002 RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2002 New Product Line from DNA Computing DNA computing Form of computing in which DNA molecules are used instead of digital logic circuits. The biological cell is regarded as an entity that resembles a sophisticated computer. Solutions Opens Major Market Segment for High Performance Embedded Computing Products TeraForce Technology Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :TERA Trillion (10 to the 12th power). Abbreviated "T." It often refers to the precise value 1,099,511,627,776 since computer specifications are usually binary numbers. See TB, binary values and space/time. ) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, DNA Computing Solutions, Inc., is unveiling a line of rugged, high-performance embedded computing products at the Military & Aerospace Electronics COTScon West 2002 show being held in San Diego, California “San Diego” redirects here.

As of 2006, the city has a population of 1,256,951. today and tomorrow. This product line, the VQCG4, offers single, dual and quad G4 processor configurations in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions. These new products are designed to complement and operate seamlessly with existing DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. products under the WingSpan(TM) software structure. Full-scale delivery of the new rugged products is scheduled to commence early next year. With its new line of rugged products DNA Computing Solutions enters a major new market sector. These products are environmentally hardened versions of DNA's successful commercial and extended temperature VQG4 product line. DNA now offers a full range of multiprocessing solutions based on the G4 RISC processor RISC processor [Reduced Instruction Set Computer], computer arithmetic-logic unit that uses a minimal instruction set, emphasizing the instructions used most often and optimizing them for the fastest possible execution. and can now address applications that require higher tolerance to shock, vibration and thermal stress. Such demanding applications are common in military, surveillance and industrial control arenas, and constitute a significant segment of the overall market for embedded computing solutions. "This product launch marks a dramatic expansion of our addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be market," said Dr. Win Smith, general manager of DNA Computing Solutions. "Having a rugged product line that offers the performance of our VQG4 products, while being software compatible with them, gives us a tremendous boost in the market. Now, we can provide high-performance computing High-speed computing, which typically refers to supercomputers used in scientific research. solutions across all major segments of the market through a spectrum of products that operate seamlessly under a common software structure, WingSpan. These new products represent an important aspect of our strategy to broaden our G4-based product line. A whole new opportunity space related to harsh environment applications emerges for us with their introduction. "This product launch highlights our software strategy to allow customers across the entire breadth of the market Breadth of the market In the context of general equities, percentage of stocks participating in a particular market move. Technical analysts say there was significant breadth if two-thirds of the stocks listed on an exchange move in the same direction during a trading session. to select DNA as their computing solutions partner. By developing their applications under our WingSpan software suite, our customers can structure their application software so that it is highly portable. This allows them to adopt any of DNA's products for particular systems' needs as well as migrate their applications to new DNA hardware over time."
