Angstrom Microsystems made an announcement today, heralding the development of the xBlas™ software system. This new product will enable the 300x acceleration of computing within the Altas Blas™ linear algebra library system, greatly reducing the amount of hardware needed to effectively run the software. This saves on associated data-center maintenance and electrical costs.
Atlas Blas is an industry standard in many sectors, with several applications ranging from automotive design, to solar energy-harvesting solutions. Angstrom, a company focused on providing ‘green’ computing products, has made significant headway in that arena with this new project.
One of the most compelling features of the xBlas system is that it allows users of Atlas Blas to make the transition without altering their existing implements. In addition, data shows that a calculation which would’ve taken more than two minutes on the original software can now be performed in just a fraction of a second.
“Angstrom is excited to provide an Altas Blas compatible library that not only blows the doors off of existing performance numbers, it is designed to fit hand-in-glove with any existing customer software without any significant modifications,” said Lalit Jain, CEO of Angstrom Microsystems, “Angstrom has done the work to go the last mile, enabling the customer to rapidly deploy xBlas with their existing code base.”
