About ClearSpeed Technology

ClearSpeed Technology designs high-performance accelerators that work alongside
conventional computer processors (CPUs) in some of the world's most demanding
applications. ClearSpeed's advanced technologies offer significantly higher
computing speeds than the most powerful CPUs, but use far less electrical power.
Based in Bristol and San Jose, the company has 84 patents granted or pending and
its products include computer chips, boards, software tools, applications and
support.

The ClearSpeed AdvanceTM Accelerator Board sits alongside conventional computer
processors and handles complex mathematical routines, dramatically increasing
the speed of applications.

At the heart of the AdvanceTM Accelerator Board are two ClearSpeed CSX600 chips,
each with 96 processor cores that work in parallel to solve complex mathematical
problems. A single CSX600 chip can perform more than 37.5 billion high-precision
calculations per second (37.5 GFLOPS), whilst typically using less than ten
watts of power - an unprecedented performance ratio unmatched by any rival
system.

As a result, ClearSpeed's AdvanceTM Board has the potential to deliver
significant performance improvements in fields such as financial market trading,
drug discovery, engineering and exploration, where users are demanding
higher-speed computing at lower costs.

The ClearSpeed AdvanceTM Board is currently offered as a plug-in board that can
be easily fitted as an upgrade to a workstation, server or cluster.
