The KMAP use the method from the publicly available drug transcriptome pattern analysis (CMAP analysis), but expands the scope of analysis and increases the prediction accuracy because it not only produces proprietary data on its own, but also overcomes existing public data limitations by measuring the entire genes’ expression (21,000). We has conducted Internal researches for many years and accumulated analytical know-how.Secondly, for drug virtual screening service, we have two algorithm patents: BEAR registered in US & Korea, BACoN registered in Korea. These algorithms are unique technique that uses only large-scale drug screening data(bioactivity) without using any structural information on the compounds and targets. Uniqueness has been achieved through machine learning formula developed in-house, and the accuracy of prediction is improved by analyzing large data.

MangoBoost is currently the world’s most highly recognized DPU startup located in US and Korea. We provide the world’s most advanced and flexible DPU HW/SW solutions in order to fully satisfy the needs of various customers. Our DPU HW is fully composable by integrating its rich set of DPU features to construct our customer-optimal DPUs. At the same time, our DPU SW enables to seamlessly deploy the solution to any customer environment. As a result, our DPU solutions are considered very promising to realize the next-generation AI/datacenter infrastructure, and thus they are currently evaluated at various global-leading companies. MangoBoost was founded in early 2022 to commercialize 7 year of top-tier DPU research outcomes achieved at Seoul National University (e.g., many full-system DPU prototypes, many ISCA/MICRO/ASPLOS/OSDI/ATC papers). The current team consists of 45+ system engineers including ~20 top-tier PhDs from Carnegie Mellon University, Seoul National University, POSTECH, U Toronto, and ~20 industry experts from Intel, Microsoft, Samsung, and Naver.
