Tactical Computing Laboratories was founded upon the premise that software is a first-order design principle in hardware development. Optimizing a platform's micro architecture or building accelerators for application-specific workloads is only useful if the necessary software tools & optimizations are present to exploit it. Our experience in designing advanced computing platforms for computationally-intensive and data-intensive workloads has proven this time and time again. As a result, we are at the forefront of advanced platform development that efficiently marries traditional programming models and advanced hardware technologies.
