The only way to continue to deliver significantly higher levels of performance
with power efficiency now and in the long run is by massive parallelism.
Our solution to the architectural and programming challenges of massive
parallelism clears the way to its practical adoption. The key to a practical
solution for embedded computing was a relentless focus on the right programming
model first; then we invented new hardware architectures and circuit
designs to enable this programming model.
The Am2000 family of MPPAs offers a profoundly easier development method compared to FPGAs hardware design methods or the nightmarish synchronization problems of programming multiple-DSPs. Nethra’s Structural Object Programming Model (SOPM) is the key that unlocks engineering productivity and quality for high-performance embedded computing.
Am2045 - aDesigner™ Tool Suite
aDesigner™ is a comprehensive, easy-to-use tool suite that uses Ambric's award-winning structured object programming model (SOPM) to make software development practical for embedded application developers who need to harness the power of massively parallel processors like the Am2000 family of massively parallel processor arrays (MPPAs).

Am2045 Software Libraries
Nethra offers a range of Am2045 software libraries for speeding your system's time-to-market. The Am2045 is especially compelling for embedded systems or other systems where form-factor, thermal and power consumption budgets are tight. For example, the maximum power consumption is only 1/15 that of a similarly powerful GPU or 1/10 of a similarly video-capable multi-core x86 CPU. The video codec libraries are very popular for incorporating in low-power field video recorders, even battery-powered ones, or for input/output ports for video-servers.
Am2045 Boards
Nethra offers a number of Am2045 development boards and reference designs for applications development and delivery. aDesigner™ is a comprehensive, easy-to-use tool suite that uses Ambric's award-winning structured object programming model (SOPM) to make software development practical for embedded application developers who need to harness the power of massively parallel processors like the Am2000 family of massively parallel processor arrays (MPPAs).
Nethra offers the following development boards and reference designs:
