Intelasys Inc. Founded by High-Tech Industry Veterans; New Venture Headed by Chet Brown and Chuck Moore to Develop Multicore Processor Solutions for Highly Compact Embedded Applications that Mandate Low-Power Operation
CUPERTINO, Calif—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Oct. 24, 2005—
Intelasys Inc., a TPL Group enterprise, has been founded
by a group of high-technology industry veterans to develop and
manufacture multicore processor solutions for compact embedded
applications that demand low-power operation. Presiding over the new
venture as president/CEO is Chester "Chet" Brown with 30-plus years'
experience managing the development of both integrated circuits and
subsystems, and taking them to market in the computer storage,
communications, storage networking and video industries. Joining Brown
on the founding team is Charles "Chuck" Moore who is perhaps best
known for inventing the Forth software language. Moore serves as chief
technology officer for both Intelasys and its parent, the TPL Group,
an intellectual property management company.
"The amazing versatility of semiconductor technology becomes
evident when innovative chip architectures are integrated with
inventive software and system-specific algorithms," said Brown. "We
believe our novel approach to multicore processor design will
demonstrate an unprecedented combination of high-speed processing and
low-power operation for embedded applications." He predicts his
company's proprietary "Sea of Processors Platform" will raise the
performance-per-watt bar for a host of embedded applications.
While specific details of the new venture's first product were not
disclosed, Brown indicated that the Intelasys product development
program is making well advanced progress. "We are currently
interviewing candidates to fill new engineering and manufacturing
positions, and expect to demonstrate beta versions of our first chip
to key customers in the first quarter of 2006," he added.
About Charles "Chuck" Moore, Intelasys CTO
Chuck Moore co-founded Forth Inc. in 1971. He developed the
Forth-based chip taken to market by Harris Corporation in the mid
1980s as the RTX2000, derivatives of which are still being widely used
by NASA. At Computer Cowboys, he designed the Sh-Boom microprocessor,
and then co-founded iTV, an Internet Appliance manufacturer. During
the 1990s, Moore used his own CAD software to design several custom
VLSI chips, including the F21 processor with a network interface. More
recently, he invented ColorForth and ported his VLSI design tools to
it. Moore currently serves as CTO for both Intelasys and its parent
company, the TPL Group.
About Chester "Chet" Brown, Intelasys President/CEO
Chet Brown's 30-plus years' experience includes a distinguished
tenure with Western Digital where he held key positions in strategic
marketing and international operations, formed two new business units,
and served as a subsidiary president and CEO. As executive VP at
SyQuest Technology, he developed worldwide strategic alliances,
channels and sales. Brown earlier served as president and CEO for
Prisma Devices, which he founded, and InfoChip Systems. As a founding
member of Qlogic, he served as VP of marketing and manufacturing as
well as acting COO. Brown also served as president and CEO of
ConnectCom Solutions.
