Ambric (Beaverton, OR) plans to sell the company including its product line, patents, and other assets. Ambric, described as an “award-winning leader in Massively Parallel Processor Arrays” (MPPA), offers programming model and silicon architecture that is said to be provide the industry's first platform capable of delivering high-performance media-processing solutions several times faster than what is currently possible on DSPs and FPGAs. Each Ambric MPPA chip has 336 32-bit processors delivering more than one TeraOPS of performance.

Ambric says it “revolutionized” the industry with the introduction of its Structured Object Programming Model (SOPM). The Ambric SOPM is so intuitive and easy to use, that it has enabled many customers to go to production in less than nine months with just one day of training. The time required from concept to launch for an Ambric based design is one-third the time of a DSP- or FPGA-based design. With Ambric's SOPM, customers are able to develop solutions by themselves.

Ambric says it is the only MPPA to have attained design wins in four distinct markets – video, wireless base stations, medical, and military/defense. Ambric's software development tools have been successfully used by this wide set of developers and by participants in Ambric's global university program to create software solutions.
