In-Situ Sequencing is a new sequencing method which, unlike conventional DNA/RNA methods, is able to simultaneously profile sequences of bases and their locations in a cell. Before our In-Situ Sequencing acceleration, our client's software took about 6 months to analyze RNA images captured by microscopes. Our experienced engineers improved the software source code, improving the performance by 35x, which shortened the usual 6 month analysis into 5 days.
Deconvolution is the process of sharpening image quality of microscopic objects, and it is commonly used by biological scientists. Our GPU acceleration completes the deconvolution process 405x faster than the commonly used Deconvolution Lab2, and is 4.4x faster than Huygens GPU.
The performance gain of computational geometry is one of the most challenging topics. Fixstars developed a GPU/CPU multi-core accelerated computational geometry engine, called the Geometric Performance Primitives (GPP). This enabled faster turnaround times of high-precision designs, tests and verifications by efficiently utilizing higher computational resources available. GPP for EDA can run up to 25x faster than reference CPUs with reduced memory footprint. Our client was able to retain perfect accuracy with 25x faster software acceleration.

The US Air Force (USAF) requires supercomputers to operate with the most advanced technology to protect our nation from any domestic or international threats. Fixstars configured and deployed the PS3 Cluster "Condor" for the USAF Research Lab. An estimated 500 TFLOPS of performance were developed for their applications such as radar enhancement, satellite image processing, and AI.
Expansion Microscopy is a method that neuroscientists use to capture images of neurons. Fixstars Solutions developed the Expansion Microscopy (ExM) Studio, designed to accelerate the deconvolution process, packaged with TeraStitcher for Expansion Microscopy. The ExM Studio contains 2 components: GPU Accelerated Deconvolution and GPU TeraStitcher. The Fixstars GPU Accelerated Deconvolution is 405x faster than the standard Deconvolution Lab2, and 4.4x faster than Huygens. Fixstars Solutions ExM Studio is used nationwide, within various universities and neuroscience labs.
