Tarari


Tarari is a company that spun out of Intel in 2002 [1]. It has created a range of re-programmable silicon based on Xilinx[2] Virtex-4 FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and ASICs [3] that offload and accelerate really complex algorithms such as XML Parsing, scanning for Computer viruses, email spam and intruders in Intrusion-prevention systems and Unified threat management appliances. As well as inspecting content its Content Processors can also transform content and they are used for XML transformation XSLT, compression, encryption as well as HD Video encoding for WMV and VC-1 formats.

In June 2006, Tarari announced that its next generation chips that will support the AMD Torrenza [4] initiative - and it will incorporate HyperTransport [5] interfaces. HyperTransport based-systems offer a dramatically reduced latency and increased throughput. This is because a HyperTransport connected system allows a co-processor to have direct access to the system's HyperTransport bus, and thus as much access to system resources as other conventional CPUs.
