Texas Instruments and Nimbix deliver a better way to cloud by
reducing power and accelerating workflows for video processing and
imaging applications
DALLAS, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) and Nimbix, a leader in
heterogeneous high performance computing cloud processing,
announced their collaboration on Nimbix's Accelerated Compute Cloud
(NACC). By selecting TI's high-performance KeyStone multicore DSPs,
Nimbix is significantly reducing power and accelerating workflows
for video processing and imaging applications, making high
performance computing in the cloud easier than ever before.
"When choosing technology for our accelerated compute cloud, we
looked no further than TI's KeyStone multicore DSPs," said
Steve Hebert, CEO of Nimbix. "With
the Nimbix Accelerated Compute Cloud, customers can leverage
hardware acceleration technology, including TI's multicore DSPs to
increase the speed and ease of use for video and imaging
applications, as well as reducing overall development costs.
Together with TI, we are lowering the adoption barrier, while
helping users achieve better cloud economics."
The cloud has become an increasingly important computing
paradigm for high performance and data intensive applications. As
analytics challenges and cloud data processing volumes continue to
explode, having an infrastructure tuned to handle these diverse
workloads more efficiently becomes paramount. The TI and Nimbix
collaboration demonstrates the power of combining low-power
acceleration technology with an easy to use high performance cloud
service. Nimbix leveraged the fixed-and floating-point capabilities
of TI's KeyStone-based TMS320C66x DSPs to provide real time high
definition video processing in a cloud compute environment. The use
of multicore DSPs over other processors lends itself to be better
in performance per watt, resulting in lower TCO for a variety of
cloud-based workloads, including video, imaging and multimedia.
"We are very excited to be working with Nimbix on their
Accelerated Compute Cloud," said Ramesh
Kumar, business manager, multicore processors, Texas
Instruments. "In just two weeks Nimbix got our multicore DSP
technology integrated with their cloud environment, and we look
forward to continuing our work with them in the high performance
computing market as they implement accelerated cloud platform for
additional DSP workloads."
