Welcome to the 4DSP Embedded Systems Blog
4DSP’s 10 year anniversary is a good time to inaugurate this new blog which will cover applications and developments in the embedded system world and what is going on at 4DSP. We will also highlight how our high-performance embedded solutions enable clients worldwide to achieve success in their businesses and research programs.
Founded in Reno, Nevada in the summer of 2004 by CTO Pierrick Vulliez, 4DSP has expanded its product portfolio from the first groundbreaking Floating Point IEEE-754 FPGA IP core and a Xilinx-based FPGA card into a wide range of FPGA Mezzanine Cards (FMC), FPGA carrier cards and system solutions in a variety of form factors. Based in Austin, Texas since 2010 with a European office in the Netherlands since 2006, the core of the business is a talented team of hardware, firmware, and software engineers dedicated to delivering cutting-edge products, turnkey solutions, and tailor-made support for the most demanding applications in the aerospace, defense, energy, and telecom industries among others.
As we look forward to the challenges and opportunities of the next decade, we continue to build our selection of high-performance FPGA boards and systems while developing new additions to a diverse selection of about 25 FMC products. 4DSP is also planning the spin off of our fiber optic sensing business which specializes in state-of-the-art data acquisition and processing systems based on technology developed in conjunction with NASA. By using optical fiber treated with Fiber Bragg gratings from partner FBGS, 4DSP’s revolutionary optical sensing instruments are capable of real-time shape, strain, and temperature sensing that increases efficiency, safety, and performance in such industries as aerospace, oil & gas, and biomedical.
Stay tuned to this space for more updates.
