− | '''Am2000''' was a family of {{arch|32}} [[massively parallel processor array|MPPAs | + | '''Am2000''' was a family of {{arch|32}} [[massively parallel processor array|MPPAs]]. The series was introduced at the 2006 Fall Microprocessor Forum. The two flagship models the {{\|Am2045}} (A) and later {{\|Am2045B}} had over 300 cores with maximum theoretical performance of over one trillion operations per second. Due to the [[wikipedia:2008 financial crisis|economic downturn of 2008]] Ambric failed to secure additional funding and was forced to sell its assets to [[Nethra Imaging]] which continued to manufacture the chips until 2013. Prior to the acquisition Ambric also announced a 600 cores, 600 MHz model. It's unknown if the model ever made it to market. Designs, [[software]], and related [[wikipedia:patent|patents]] are now held by [[Imagination Technologies]]. |
Ambric, unlike many of its competitors, managed to develop a sound programming model that proved itself to be simple enough and intuitive enough to allow easy programming. Am2000 found their way to various military applications, medical instruments, and high-end multimedia hardware. | Ambric, unlike many of its competitors, managed to develop a sound programming model that proved itself to be simple enough and intuitive enough to allow easy programming.
