SilMinds

SilMinds offers innovative solutions for Decimal Floating Point (DFP) hardware acceleration. We are the first to introduce a library of IP core units that is compliant with IEEE 754-2008 standard. In addition, we offer integrated hardware/software DFP acceleration products and custom solutions to bring our customers the highest levels of high performance and energy efficient computing. Our patented DFP arithmetic technology serves various financial applications, characterized by intense DFP computations, in a wide range of financial sectors including core banking, telecoms call rating and billing, currency and stock exchange, real time payment processing, and more... SilMinds coprocessor based accelerator cards (SilAx and SilAxPro) can be directly plugged into the server or the personal computer PCIe interface bus or the CPU Socket. The accelerators' core functions are implemented using reconfigurable FPGAs, offering full customization of the acceleration solution in terms of both computation profile and throughput. The speedup factors achieved through SilAx DFP accelerators promise unprecedented energy and total cost of ownership savings for financial data centers.
