Ambric

Ambric develops massively parallel processor array integrated circuits for high performance applications.

Ambric developed a massively parallel processor array integrated circuit for high performance applications. Ambric's parallel processor solution including a 'structured object programming model' that allowed developers to effectively program the large number of cores. Ambric's first generation chip architecture, Am2045, featured 336 processors on a chip. It competed against large FPGA's, DSPs and use of Intel x86 processors used in embedded markets. Ambric targeted video compression markets, medical imaging, wireless basesation and military markets.
