MathStar Plans IPO

  • In May 2004, MathStar announced the release of its new Field Programmable Object Array (FPOA), a high-performance chip for use in networking and digital signal processing applications. MathStar's first FPOA devices have 400 1 GHz Silicon Objects, resulting in a device with 400 Giga Operations of performance. The devices are implemented in 130nm technology. The company said its FPOAs provide a strategic alternative to the high-cost of developing ASICs or the performance limitations of conventional FPGA architectures.
