About ETI
ET International (ETI) is an independent software vendor (ISV) specializing in developing and deploying system software solutions and tools for advanced computing architectures and platforms based on new multi-core chip technology. To do this, we have leveraged decades of research and knowledge of parallel computer architectures and software technology.

ETI has developed a unique system software solution that addresses the needs of advanced architectures, based on advanced many-core chip technology. Our solutions' unique features are rooted in deep dataflow research and know-how, leveraging our founder's two decades of research:

• ETI's proprietary microkernel allows users to directly manage thread synchronization and communication, while providing off-chip services to the user program without incurring task-switching overhead. This avoids the well-known burden of OS noise and overhead.
• ETI's proprietary fine-grained thread virtual machine technology that can master an advanced computation engine on behalf of a user application while interfacing seamlessly with traditional OS services on the host computer.
• ETI's memory and thread management encourages user-tailored performance optimization technology. This innovative solution is simple and scales elegantly in contrast to other approaches relying on a traditional OS-enabled virtual machine approach.
• ETI's DEEP Emulation technology enables software/logic co-verification on many-core chips and systems, enabling a scalable and fast logic emulation that runs end-to-end parallel applications and debugging down to the hardware logic level, and uncovering concurrency bugs.  

ETI's Technology, Deployed on IBM Cyclops-64 Chip/System
ETI's technology has been successfully deployed as an end-to-end system software solution on the IBM Cyclops-64 chip - one of the most advanced high-performance microprocessor chips that integrates hundreds of cores (CPUs), associated memory banks, and high-bandwidth networks all on a single chip. From 2004-2008, ETI was awarded a multi-year, multi-phase contract from the US Government to develop and deploy this solution - as the sole external ISV to partner with IBM. The ultimate goal is to deploy a peta-scale system employing thousands of chips performing mission-critical operations for the Government sponsors.

Our technology is disruptive because it represents a paradigm shift. With high performance computing platforms moving from single-core clusters to complex hybrid multi-core systems, our multi-core technology transcends chip architectures and traditional system software weaknesses, while leveraging existing infrastructure and investments.

ETI's Objectives
ETI is dedicated to being an industry leader in the deployment of its proven end-to-end multi-core/multi-chip software solutions and services for advanced computer architecture and parallel systems critical to the Government, as well as to many-core/chip/system manufacturers. ETI's technology can be optimized and adapted to various mission-critical challenges in both the Government and commercial domains: performance, security, power/energy consumption, real-time constraints, and ease of use.
