Reuters is carrying a story from Google that they’re the ones who picked up PeakStream (which makes Chris Aycock right)
Google Inc. said on Tuesday it has acquired PeakStream Inc., a maker of software for running powerful computers, as the Web search leader seeks ever more computer power.
The Register evidently scooped everyone with the news yesterday evening.
…PeakStream had developed tools that improve the performance of single-threaded applications on multi-core chips. Such tools should prove useful to coders who don’t want to deal with complex, parallel code but do want to take advantage of performance gains delivered via products such as GPGPUs (general purpose GPUs) from Nvidia and AMD/ATI and even multi-core x86 processors.
“We believe the PeakStream team’s broad technical expertise can help build products and features that will benefit our users,” Google said in a statement. “We look forward to providing them with additional resources as they continue developing high performance applications for modern multi-core systems.”
