Adapteva is a fabless semiconductor company focusing on low power multi-core microprocessor design. The company was the second company to announce a design with 1,000 specialized processing cores on a single chip.〔 ("IBM says Kilocore technology will outrun today's mobile processors" ). Tom's Hardware. 2006. 〕 The company name is a combination of "adapt" and the Hebrew word "Teva" meaning nature. The name is a reflection of the company's key technology and business philosophy. == History == Adapteva was founded in March 2008 by Andreas Olofsson. The company was founded with the goal of bringing a 10× advancement in floating point processing energy efficiency for the mobile device market. In May 2009, Mr. Olofsson had taped out the first prototype based on a new type of massively parallel multi-core computer architecture. The initial prototype was implemented in 65 nm and had 16 independent microprocessor cores. The initial prototypes enabled Adapteva to secure US$1.5M in Series-A funding from BittWare, a company from Concord, New Hampshire, in October 2009. Adapteva's first commercial chip product started sampling to customers in early May 2011 and they soon thereafter announced the capability to put up to 4,096 cores on a single chip. The current version, ''Epiphany III'', was announced in October 2011 and has been taped-out at 28 nm and is available in 65nm, while the 64-cores, 28nm version was said to be generally available in January 2012, and has been sampled and shipped but isn't generally available . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adapteva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
