Company provides fully integrated embedded development systems and algorithm acceleration services for homeland security application: Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. was awarded a comprehensive application acceleration design win by a top-tier prime contractor for a homeland security application. The contract calls for extensive algorithm optimization and acceleration as well as hardware, software, and services that include system engineering mapping, application development training, and installation and configuration support. Working with the customer's product and engineering teams, Mercury application engineers determined that a Cell Broadband Engine (BE) processor-based environment would provide the highest, most cost-effective performance. In addition to Mercury CAB (Cell Accelerator Board) and 1U blade systems, Mercury is providing the MultiCore Framework (MCF), its comprehensive middleware that simplifies the programming of a heterogeneous, multicore processor such as the Cell BE processor without sacrificing performance. The MCF includes Mercury's proven Scientific Algorithm Library (SAL) to optimize the algorithms within the Cell BE processor. "Our diverse product offering of DSP-, GPU-, Cell- and FPGA-based systems, available on virtually any platform the customer requires, is testament to our flexibility and responsiveness in addressing their computing needs as well as the ever-present shifts in technology," said Didier Thibaud, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Computing Solutions for Mercury Computer Systems. "This customer chose Mercury because of our unique ability to optimize a full spectrum of processor architectures in order to provide the highest performance and best value for their technology investment."
