Willkommen bei Silicon Software [d]
Description
The enterprise produces custom-designed solutions for machine vision with its hardware and software developments. Main emphasis is the microEnable product line, a high speed image processing accelerator which can be installed as a plug-in card into every standard PC. With this hardware complex visual tasks can be handled in real time. The programmability of the processor and therefore the variability of the range of applications is the advantage of this technology. Complex functional units can completely be exchanged for new functions in fractions of seconds. By the reloading of the corresponding software program (cores) the hardware structures and functions of a special chip are imitated.
SILICONSOFTWARE GmbH was founded in 1997 as a spin off of the University of Mannheim with the intention to establish high speed image processing accelerators based on the new technological development of reprogrammable hardware on the international markets and to make this new future market accessible to a broad and interested industrial market. The companions and developers have invest their decades of experience on this technological field in the realisation of projects in research and industry.
The enterprise name is also the idea of business: a revolutionarily new way of synergy between hardware and software. The modern technology of the reprogrammable processors (FPGA = field programmable gate array) enables the combination of a high processing speed of electronic components (hardware) and the flexible customization and interchangeability of programmings (software).
