Adapteva provides energy-efficient manycore accelerator chips and compact computer modules for applications that need high compute per watt. Its Epiphany manycore architecture and Parallella modules deliver extreme energy efficiency by scaling thousands to billions of simple RISC cores as a programmable accelerator. The company sells hardware and licenses IP and supports standard programming models and tools including C, C++, OpenMP, MPI, OpenCL and Python for integration into embedded, ML, HPC and software-defined radio workflows. Adapteva has shipped multiple silicon generations and community-backed Parallella boards to developers and researchers, targeting markets that require real-time image classification, autonomous navigation and other energy-constrained high-performance workloads.
