Company description: BOPS(R), Inc. (Billions of Operations Per Second, Inc.) licenses a family of scaleable and reusable DSP co-processors for ARM and MIPS that are optimized for consumer multimedia, networking, and communication products. Two complete development environments are available, one for System-on-chip (SOC) designers and one for Software Developers. By combining ManArray's high performance and low power DSP co-processor with an ARM, MIPS, or other RISC CPU, designers can extend their existing platforms to successive product generations while preserving their investment in application code, OS, drivers, and infrastructure.

BOPS' staff is a collection of some of the world's leading DSP experts in architecture, design, compilers, tools, and software design. Collectively, the BOPS team has hundreds of man-years of DSP experience and over one hundred patents. BOPS, Inc. was founded in January of 1997. The initial team was from IBM's MWAVE/MFAST DSP group.

BOPS, Inc.'s mission is to become the de facto standard DSP co-processor platform for both MIPS and ARM in emerging high-performance and battery powered system-on-a-chip.
