We are excited to announce that Achronix Semiconductor Corporation and ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: ACEV), a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC), have entered into a definitive agreement that will result in the combined entity continuing as a publicly traded company. As the only independent high-end FPGA and eFPGA IP company, Achronix will be well positioned to continue to capitalize on the nearly $10B data acceleration market. It is expected for the deal to close by mid-2021 and Achronix will then be traded under new ticker symbol ACHX.

With AI and deep learning models growing at rates faster than Moore's Law, a new challenge has emerged to develop heterogenous hardware acceleration platforms that can keep up with this growth. This growth has lead to the adoption of FPGA technology that supports the number formats that are now commonly used in these models. Learn how Speedster7t FPGAs with their machine learning processors that natively support multiple different number formats can accelerate AI applications and support the latest AI and deep learning.

While the performance of an ASIC is typically high enough for broadcast-quality video processing, it supports only the feature set conceived of at design time and is not field upgradable. A CPU is the most flexible; however, clock frequencies have plateaued, and the era of dramatic improvements in performance are over. FPGAs represent a good balance between performance and flexibility for this class of application.
