Tarari Signs Racor To Sell Reconfigurable Processor

Tarari Inc announced that Texas-based manufacturer's representative Racor Systems Inc will be selling the Tarari High Performance Computing Content Processor in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The reconfigurable Tarari High Performance Computing Content Processor offloads compute-intensive algorithms from servers, cluster nodes and embedded processors, enabling companies to increase the available cycles in new and existing clustered computing applications as well as individual servers and processors.

Racor Systems, with 20 years of experience in the embedded computing market, works with customers in the general industrial control, telecom, military, and oilfield equipment industries. "There's a tremendous need for extreme acceleration in many of the markets we serve, including High Performance Computing," said Randy Hoffman, president of Racor Systems, "and with Tarari's technology, we will be able to offer our customers an extraordinary boost in performance while also controlling costs. This is what our customers are looking for."

"We are excited to have Racor Systems as one of our first partners in delivering High Performance Computing Content Processors to an eager and ever-expanding embedded High Performance Computing market," said Randy Smerik, president and CEO of Tarari Inc. "Racor's experience and expertise will help us both expand market awareness and deliver solutions that will set a much higher performance bar for compute-intensive applications. Tarari will be appointing other partners in various regions and vertical markets throughout the United States in the next few months."

The Tarari High Performance Computing Content Processor includes many unmatched features such as advanced memory management, dynamic instantiation of multiple agents and a single-board construction that includes a patent-pending on-board cooling system. Because the Tarari High Performance Computing Content Processor is production-ready, time to market is dramatically reduced. Using Tarari High Performance Computing Content Processors, applications in a variety of fields, such as pattern recognition, seismic analysis, genomics and real-time processing of high volumes of data, can run at speeds well over 20-times faster than typical microprocessor-based systems.
