MulticoreWare is a VC fund in Saratoga focused on Semiconductor and Internet of Things. MulticoreWare was founded by a team of researchers that wanted a better way to program for heterogeneous architectures. With the advent of GPGPUs and the increasing prevalence of multi-core, multi-architecture platforms, their clients were struggling with the difficulties of using these platforms efficiently. They started as a boot-strappedservices company and have since expanded our portfolio to span products and services related to compilers, machine learning, video codecs, image processing and augmented/virtual reality.Their hardware expertise has also expanded with our team; we now employ experts on HPC and Cloud Computing, GPGPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and mobile and embedded platforms.
