Cray MTA-2

The MTA-2 was an attempt to correct these problems while maintaining essentially the same processor architecture respun in one silicon ASIC, down from some 26 gallium arsenide ASICs in the original MTA; and while advancing the network design from a 4-D torus topology to a more scalable Cayley graph topology.

Free and open-source graphics device driver

The functional blocks (i.e. the display driver ASIC, the 3D acceleration ASIC, the 2D acceleration ASIC, Video decoding and Video encoding ASIC) are separate SIP (SIP) blocks, since the hardware devices are very different from each other.

Hardware description language

Depending on the physical technology (FPGA, ASIC gate array, ASIC standard cell), HDLs may or may not play a significant role in the back-end flow.

Jeffrey Lucy

Jeffrey John Lucy AO (born 6 November 1946) is the former Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Australia's Capital Markets and Corporations Regulator.

Linotype-Hell DaVinci

DaVinci originally ran on proprietary "Power" workstations with dual 68040 or 88110 processors and several custom ASICs.

Multilayer switch

According to Cisco, Layer 3 switches are basically routers that switch based on Layer 3 information, the basic difference being processing speed and/or the way they do the switching; Layer 3 switches use ASICs/hardware instead of the CPU/software that a router would.

Nios II

Unlike Microblaze, Nios II is licensable for standard-cell ASICs through a third-party IP provider, Synopsys Designware.

Physics processing unit

This project was extended into a considerably more advanced ASIC-based system named HELLAS.

RemoteFX

The RemoteFX Codec does not require any special hardware, and uses the CPU for encoding, with optional hardware-acceleration by either a GPU or ASIC.

A RemoteFX encoder ASIC may also be optionally installed to further accelerate encoding.
