Xelerated Inc., founded in 2000, is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in ASSP-based Carrier Ethernet chipsets. Xelerated carries a line of programmable Network Processing Units (NPUs) and Ethernet network switches for the Metro Ethernet, access network and high-end enterprise markets.
Xelerated’s design relies upon a patented dataflow architecture. Like an ASIC, it is optimized in relation to the flow of packets instead of the flow of instructions through a RISC core. As a result, Xelerated’s NPUs and Ethernet switches behave in a deterministic manner, so that processing speed is predictable rather than variable.[1] Because Xelerated’s NPUs and Ethernet switches are programmable, carriers can reprogram them to adapt to new standards as they develop.[2]
The company has offices in Santa Clara, California, Stockholm, Tel Aviv and Beijing.
