Moriyuki Takamura, Group Senior Vice President of the LSI Group of Fujitsu Limited, said: "The license from Intergraph enables Fujitsu to supply device solutions that utilize Intergraph's parallel instruction computing technology. Fujitsu's core platform is well suited for system-on-chip implementations in those demanding market applications that require high performance but low power consumption."
