Kalray

Kalray S.A. is a 1999 private company that has operated internationally and sells semiconductors and semiconductor equipment to individuals and corporations. Company plans include the production of chips, supercomputing chips and many core processing technology (MPPA). The MPPA technology was patented in early 2016.[1] The company has produced variations of the MPPA. These include the MPPA2-256 (Bostan), a high-speed I/O processor, MPPA-256 (Andey), a processor that is composed of I/O subsystems and an array of clusters. The technology of the company is based on standard C, C++, and OpenCL.[2] The company has been described in various publications.[3][4] Until August 2012, Kalray was a subsidiary of Esterel Technologies, prior to the ANSYS acquisition of Esterel Technologies and the secession of Kalray from the former.[5]

Product history

On 22 June 2015, Kalray began distribution of cloud acceleration boards: TurboCard3 and K-ONIC, for networking and storage applications, both of which can be programmed with either standard C or C++.[6] TurboCard3 and K-ONIC both utilize the MPPA2-256 Bostan 2nd generation processor. The second generation processors contain 256 more advanced cores.[7][8] As of May 2017, the latter is also the company's newest PCIe card. [9]
