08 Dec 2008 - Maxeler CEO to speak at Stanford CEES
Novel acceleration technology is delivering a discontinuous jump of over one order of magnitude in compute capability to the earth sciences community. For example, Chevron announced a Maxeler system at the recent SEG meeting offering over 200x speedup compared to a single state-of-the-art Intel Xeon CPU core. In particular, acceleration increases with problem size, suggesting [...]

15 Aug 2008 - Maxeler to present MAXware acceleration technology at HOT CHIPS ’08
Since it started in 1989, HOT CHIPS has been known as one of the semiconductor industry’s leading conferences on high-performance microprocessors and related integrated circuits. The conference is held once a year in August on the Stanford University campus in the center of Silicon Valley. The conference emphasis is to showcase real products and realizable [...]
09 May 2008 - Maxeler Chairman to speak at ISPDC 2008
The emphasis on multi core architectures and multi node parallel processors comes about, in part, from the failure of frequency scaling not because of breakthroughs in parallel programming or architecture. Progress in automatic compilation of serial programs into multi tasked ones has been slow. The standard approach to programming HPC is to implement an application [...]
06 May 2008 - Maxeler presents two papers at EAGE 2008
Maxeler Technologies’ latest work on acceleration of seismic processing using FPGAs will be presented at the 70th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers in Rome. EAGE is one of the premier geoscience conferences in the world, attracting over 300 exhibiting companies. This year’s conference theme is “Leveraging Technology”, reflecting and highlighting [...]
