Time to market is critical no matter what market your company is in.
Acceleware enables companies to get their products to market faster by
decreasing the time it takes for product design, development and testing.
Acceleware's suite of hardware acceleration products dramatically increase
the speed of computationally-intensive applications such as those used to
design cellular phones, process seismic data and make bio-imaging
technology possible. A cellular phone emissions simulation that can take
up to eight hours, may only take 15 minutes with Acceleware.s products.
