An alliance of high-tech organisations, including Scottish Enterprise, is working to develop new computer solutions using ultra high-performance chips called Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).

As part of the multi-million pound project, a new type of supercomputer has been built. We are also working to raise awareness of FPGA technologies across industry and commerce. The project hopes to revolutionise the development of "mission-critical applications" and help deal with the massive processing requirements needed in areas such as drug design, defence, seismology, medical imaging and mobile telecoms
