Company Background

CPU Technology, Inc. develops and manufactures compatible, next-generation solutions for the high-end computing market. The company's automated system-level design and verification technologies radically reduce cost and time-to-market for high-end systems. CPU TECH's innovative embedded multiprocessor architectures and System-on-Chip technology yield highly reliable solutions which are smaller, lighter, faster and more power-efficient. Their customer base has included leading technology companies such as Honeywell, IBM, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, NCR, LSI, NEC, and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). CPU TECH is also engaged in the development of complex obsolescence replacement systems employing state-of-the-art technology and System-on-Chip implementation for the United States Air Force and Navy, as well as partnering with established defense companies such as EG & G, Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon and United Defense LP.

Innovative Technology Developed

CPU TECH has produced a highly integrated System-on-Chip which incorporates the world's highest performance, fully compatible MIL-STD-1750A microprocessor for the F-16 Display Generator. The CPU1750A-FB offers full compatibility with all existing 1750 system software while providing a 10X throughput increase, enabling the additional color and advance feature implementations. CPU TECH's System-on-Chip integration effort reduced the number of circuit boards in the system by a factor of three and further improved overall system reliability.

• System Performance Improved 10X
• Software Tools Investment Preserved
• Full Life Cycle Support
• Reduced Unit Cost
• Enhance Maintainability
• Eliminates DMS Issues for MIL-STD-1750A
• Field Proven
• Programmable using ANSI C, Assembly or Jovial Languages

DoD Implementation and Commercialization Summary

Honeywell DAS and Lockheed Martin needed a backward compatible performance upgrade to the F-16 Block 50 Programmable Display Generator. The increased performance was required in order to add color and enhanced graphics capabilities and new functionality to the multi-function display unit. The Air Force has directed nearly 50 Million dollars in benefits in terms of overall program cost savings due to CPU TECH's innovative system-on-Chip technology.

• Extended 32/64 bit processing capacity
• Power - Fully static, synchronous design
• Memory - Instruction Set Extension allows for Addressing Up To 8 mega words
• Reliability - Built-in Real Time Non-Intrusive Instrumentation and Instruction Level Fault Tolerance
• Full binary Software Compatibility - The CPU1750A-FB fully supports the MIL-STD-1750A Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and is compatible with GEC-31750 and other processors
