SRC^® Company Overview & Trademarks

SRC Computers, LLC is a recognized leader in general-purpose reconfigurable high performance computing and offers powerful programmer-friendly servers, workstations and embedded systems.

SRC Computers has developed a revolutionary hardware and software architecture called the IMPLICIT+EXPLICIT^™ Architecture. Systems built with this architecture execute the user’s code, written in ANSI standard high-level languages such as C or Fortran, on a mixture of tightly coupled Implicitly controlled microprocessors and Explicitly controlled reconfigurable MAP processors.

The fundamental IMPLICIT+EXPLICIT Architecture is shown below. In this architecture, the Explicit and Implicit processors are peers with respect to their ability to access system memory contents. In this fashion, overhead associated with having both types of processors working together on the same program is minimized. This allows the programmer to utilize whichever processor type is best for a given portion of the overall application without concern for control handoff penalties.

With the SRC Carte^™ Programming Environment, a user can access the IMPLICIT+EXPLICIT Architecture and the power of the microprocessors through a single C or Fortran program. This eliminates the need for FPGA hardware design knowledge and makes SRC systems extremely programmer-friendly.

As a result of its groundbreaking advances in computing technology, SRC systems allow programmers to achieve orders of magnitude increases in performance and reduction in power consumption in a smaller footprint than systems that rely on conventional microprocessors alone.

SRC systems are helping researchers and innovators with compute-intensive challenges in such markets as:

Defense
Scientific research
Molecular dynamics
Biometrics
Finance
Real-time sensor processing

Energy
Intelligence
Bio-informatics
Image processing
Medical research
Geospatial mapping

SRC Computers, LLC was established in 1996 in Colorado Springs, Colorado by legendary computer architect Seymour Cray and is privately owned. In addition to its headquarters in Colorado Springs, SRC Computers also maintains a software development facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
