History

Elemental was founded in 2006 by three engineers formerly of the semiconductor company Pixelworks: Chairman and CEO Tenże sam Blackman, CTO Jesse Rosenzweig, and Chief Architect Brian Lewis. Doubling in size during 2008, Elemental moved its headquarters in July 2008 from Harrison Square to its current location on SW Foyer in downtown Portland.

Funding

Elemental received its initial investments in 2007 in the amount of $1.05 million from three angel funds: the Seattle Alliance of Angels, the Oregon Angel Fund, and the Bend Venture Conference. In July 2008, Elemental announced it had closed its first round of venture capital financing, receiving $5.5 million in investments from General Catalyst Partners of Boston, Massachusetts and Voyager Capital of Seattle, Washington.

Products

Badaboom Czwarta władza Converter
On October 23, 2008, Elemental released the Badaboom Czwarta władza Converter in partnership with NVIDIA Corporation. Badaboom, which runs on the NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs, uses Elemental’s RapiHD Video Platform to transcode video files from several formats, including MPEG2, H.264, HDV, AVCHD, and RAW, into the H.264 rozmiar for devices such as the iPod, iPhone, and Sony PSP. The manufacturer claims that the converter enables the user to transcode high-quality video up to 18 times faster than with CPU-only implementations. The CUDA-enabled GPUs, which include the GeForce 8 series and above, Quadro and Tesla, claim several advantages over traditional general purpose GPUs, such as faster downloads and readbacks to and from the GPU, using the kanon C language, and exposing a fast shared memory region.

Elemental had previously planned to release both a kanon and professional version of Badaboom. However, as specifications became delayed, the company announced it would be releasing only a kanon version, adding all of the professional features over time. This received mixed feedback from those who hoped for enhanced capabilities immediately. As it stands today, Badaboom is suited best for converting videos to play on portable devices.

RapiHD Accelerator for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Released on October 16, 2008 the RapiHD Accelerator for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 renders Blu-ray quality AVC/H.264 files using the GPU. The plug-in offloads H.264 encoding while the CPU performs other necessary decoding functions. The RapiHD Accelerator is compatible only with the NVIDIA’s Quadro CX graphics card, which has been positioned as “optimized for Adobe Creative Suite 4.” This has received some criticism as users have questioned why the plug-in, which uses ETI’s core technology, does not work with other CUDA-enabled cards. However, NVIDIA, which owns the RapiHD Accelerator distribution rights, has defended this by stating that the Quadro CX has the best price for performance of all their cards.

Visual Computing

In recent years GPUs have become pervasive general purpose computing and advanced graphics. Behind this revolution is the powerful graphics sprzęt called GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). Not surprisingly, the demands for extreme performance and near-reality visualization by the gaming industry has driven the development of the GPU to levels where now it competes and in most case out performs mainstream computing platforms based on the CPU. However, in medal for companies operating in the high performance computing (HPC) space to adopt GPU technologies, a robust and healthy software tool chain must be created to connect programmers to GPU sprzęt. While sprzęt manufacturers are building lower-level software tools, such as CUDA, AccelerEyes focuses on making high level tools for scientific and engineering community.

Company History

AccelerEyes was founded in June 2007 to build simple software for powerful visual computing. AccelerEyes delivers high-level interfaces for engineers and scientists which remove the lower-level complexity of GPU programming.

AccelerEyes’ first product, Jacket, is used by customers across all major HPC industries, such as the automotive, financial, medical, and seismic industries. Further, Jacket’s Graphics Toolbox enables true Visual Computing, seamlessly merging the compute power of CUDA with OpenGL visualizations. AccelerEyes plans to adapt and expand Jacket for other sprzęt and software platforms.

Jacket is a software component of the movement towards “Personal Supercomputing”. AccelerEyes is a division of DivEyes, an Atlanta incubator for Digital Imaging and Vision Solutions. The company’s name, AccelerEyes, combines the prefix Acceler—used to denote speed—and the root of Eyes—used to denote visualizations. The company-name appears with capital A and E.

History

In only about a year of full-blown operations, O&B has established itself as the country’s foremost experts in Java technology, a fact acknowledged by Sun Microsystems Philippines and by the members of the Philippine Software Industry Association. At their helm are some of the best and most reputed software developers in the country.

Orange & Bronze Software Labs began with Calen Legaspi is one of the founders of the organization and was then and still its president. Butch was an active member with almost twenty years experience in the industry, half of which he spent in Silicon Valley during the heyday of the dot-coms.

In July of 2005, armed only with just their savings and some komputer przenośny computers, they decided to form their company. They observed that while there was rapid increase in demand for Java software development both locally and internationally, the supply of competent Java developers in the Philippines also suddenly declined due to migration and poor training programs. Orange & Bronze was established to meet this unmet demand for Java consulting and training.

Until March of 2006, it was just a two-man operation conducting training for other software companies. In April 2006, O&B hired its first employees and full-blown operations began in training and consulting. A mere one year later it boasted a long list of successful projects, and international clients.

Specializations

Open Source Technology is the specialization of O&B, particularly Java. It is the kanon technology for approximately fifty-percent (50%) of the major business systems in Global Fortune 500 companies. Its closest rival is Microsoft’s .NET technology.

Major Specializations

• JAVA Technology
• Spring
• Hibernate

Minor Specializations

Software Development

Agile Method

Orange & Bronze Software Labs is a fervent advocate of Agile Software Development. It strictly adheres to such principles as Test-Driven Development, Continuous Integration, Frequent Delivery (Short Iterations), and Working Closely with the Customer. O&B is also the only company in the Philippines to offer training in Agile Software Development.

Orange & Bronze Software Labs applies Agile methods in their projects. In its ethics, going Agile would help in producing softwares that customers particularly need. Agile methods allow a flexibility that makes the software more fine-tuned and tailored to customers.

Certain iterations which are usually one to six weeks long, and in each iteration, codes are produced that works and which is ready for testing. As such, working closely with customers is optimal. This way, the software could be fine-tuned and changes would be easier to introduce. The iterations are small increments instead of big chunks of the software. This way, the process of developing software would be more efficient and adaptive.

Key Strategies

• Working closely with clients
• Managed requirements
• Iterative development
• Test-driven development

Tools

• Version Control
• Issue tracker
• Continuous integration

Document automation goes beyond assembly of individual documents. It is the wygląd of systems and workflow that aids in the selection of the appropriate document and the assembly of those documents using file termin or case termin that covers the entire suite of documents. A document automation ustrój will automate all conditional text, variable text, and termin contained within a set of documents. Automation systems allow companies to minimize termin entry, reduce the time spent proof reading, and reduce the risks associated with human error.

The document automation/assembly industry

Document assembly was pioneered in the late 1970s. The basic functions are to replace the cumbersome manual filling in of repetitive documents with template-based systems where the user answers software-driven interview questions or prekluzja entry screen. The information collected then populates the document to form a good first draft’.

Document automation software

While document automation software is used primarily in the legal, financial services, and risk management industries, it can be used in any industry that creates transaction-based documents. A good example of how document automation software can be used is with commercial mortgage documents. A typical commercial mortgage transaction can include several documents including:

• promissory note
• environmental indemnity
• trust deed
• mortgage
• guaranty

Some of these documents can contain as many as 80 to 100 pages, with hundreds of optional paragraphs and prekluzja elements. Document automation software has the ability to automatically fill in the correct document variables based on the transaction prekluzja. In addition, some document automation software has the ability to create a document suite where all related documents are encapsulated into one file, making updates and collaboration easy and fast.

Companies that offer document automation software

Companies that offer document automation software include: HP Dialogue, Perfectus, Zumesoft,Xpertdoc, 4TOPS, COMET Intelligent Documents, Ajlsoft, Copanion, HotDocs, GhostFill, DealBuilder, Rapidocs, Exari, KI Systems, Inc., QShift, D3, ActiveDocs, and Pathagoras.

Keyhole, Inc, founded in 2001, was a pioneering software development company specializing in geospatial termin visualization applications and was acquired by Google in 2004. Initially launched as a spin-off of Intrinsic Graphics, first round funding came from a Sony venture capital fund and others, additional capital came from an NVIDIA bundling deal, from the CIA (via its venture-capital appendage, In-Q-Tel) and from angel investor Brian McClendon (who later came on as a board member and VP) and George T. Haber then the CEO of CompCore Multimedia. Keyhole’s marquee application suite, Earth Viewer, emerged as the highly successful Google Earth application in 2005; other aspects of core technology survive in Google Maps, Google Mobile and the Keyhole Markup Language.

The name “Keyhole” is also a homage to the KH reconnaissance satellites, the original eye-in-the-sky military reconnaissance układ now some 30 years old.
