About Parallel Engines

Parallel Engines was founded in April 2008 by industry veterans with the goal of exploiting the evolving parallel computing infrastructure to solve large complex EDA, scientific, and engineering enterprise problems. Parallel Engines is headquartered in Cupertino CA.

The company’s initial focus is on graphics and Parallel Backplane software needed to monitor, execute, analyze, coordinate, display and solve large design problems. Along with this infrastructure, the company is creating Parallel Engines for optimization of large chip design problems that will eventually run coordinated flows on hundreds of CPUs/cores.

Business Model

The founders of Parallel Engines have a long history of both providing end-user tools and working with large corporate partners in source sharing arrangements. Bundled end-user solutions integrating EDA tools and semiconductor IP are the key to low cost design of complex ICs. Partnering with like semiconductor IDMs has led to beneficial relationships with internal development using Parallel Engines' source and team as a direct extension of internal activities. These partnerships result in tools that could not be developed in house due to effort, nor externally alone due to lack of advanced technology insight.
