ISRA VISION PARSYTEC AG is a company of ISRA VISION AG and was founded in 1985 as Parsytec (PARallel SYstem TEChnology) in Aachen, Germany. Parsytec has become known in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a manufacturer of transputer-based parallel systems. Products ranged from a single transputer plug-in board for the IBM PC up to large massively-parallel systems with thousands of transputers (or processors, respectively) such as the Parsytec GC. Some sources call the latter ''ultracomputer sized, scalable multicomputers (smC)''.〔(Massively Parallel Computers: Why Not Parallel Computers for the Masses? ) G. Bell at ''microsoft.com''〕〔(Alternating-Direction Line-Relaxation Methods on Multicomputers ) J. Hofhaus et al., SIAM J. ScI. COMPUT. Vol. 17, No. 2, pp. 454-478, March 1996〕 As part of the ISRA VISION AG, today the company focusses on solutions in the machine vision and industrial image procession sector. The ISRA Parsytec products are used for quality and surface inspection especially in the metal and paper industries. ==History== In 1985, Parsytec was founded by Falk-Dietrich Kübler, Gerhard H. Peise, and Bernd Wolff in Aachen, Germany, with an 800000 DM grant from Federal Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT).〔(Duell der Zahlenfresser ) at ''zeit.de'' (German)〕 In contrast to SUPRENUM, Parsytec directly aimed their systems (pattern recognition) at industrial applications such as surface inspection. Therefore, they not only had a substantial market share in the European academia but they could also win quite a many industrial customers. This included many customers outside Germany. In 1988, export accounted for roughly a third of Parsytec's turnover. Turnover figures were: nil in 1985, 1.5M DM in 1986, 5.2M DM in 1988, 9M DM in 1989, and 15M DM in 1990, 17M USD in 1991. In order to focus Parsytec on research and development, ParaCom was founded. ParaCom thence took care of the sales and marketing side of the business. Parsytec/ParaCom's headquarters were maintained in Aachen (Germany), however they had subsidiary sales offices in Chemnitz (Germany), Southampton (United Kingdom), Chicago (USA), St Petersburg (Russia) and Moscow (Russia).〔(Parsytec GmbH ) at ''new-npac.org''〕 In Japan, the machines were sold by Matsushita.〔 Between 1988 and 1994, Parsytec built quite an impressive range of transputer based computers having its peak in the "Parsytec GC" (GigaCluster) which was available in versions using 64 up to 16384 transputers.〔(Parsytec ) Article at ''GeekDot.com''〕 Parsytec had its IPO in mid-1999 at the German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt. On Apr, 30, 2006 founder Falk-D. Kübler left the company.〔(Annual Statement of Accounts 2006 ) at ''parsytec.de''〕 In July 2007,〔(ISRA Vision übernimmt Parsytec ) Jul 23, 2007 at ''finanznachrichten.de'' (German)〕 52.6%〔(ISRA VISION AG - Erwerb der Mehrheit an der Parsytec AG ) Jul 24, 2007 at ''equinet-ag.de'' (German)〕 of the Parsytec AG were acquired by ISRA VISION AG. The delisting of Parsytec shares from the stock market started December the same year. And since 18 April 2008, the Parsytec share is no longer listed on the stock exchange.〔(Investor Relations at ISRA ) at ''parsytec.de''〕 Whilst workforce at Parsytec was roundabout 130 staff in the early 1990s, the ISRA VISION Group had more than 500 employees in 2012/2013.〔(Annual Report 2012/2013 ) May 05, 2014 at ''isravision.com''〕 Today, the core business of ISRA Parsytec within the ISRA VISION Group is the development and distribution of surface inspection systems for strip products in the metal and paper industries. 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「Parsytec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
