Our mission

Acellera's mission is to design and develop high performance algorithms and solutions for scientific and mission-critical applications. Our know-how on numerical techniques, cutting-edge hardware and software technologies is critical to provide our customers with the most innovative and cost-effective application.

Acellera first to use the Cell processor for research in health science

Acellera has been able to exploit the revolutionary design and architecture of the Sony-Toshiba-IBM Cell processor, running a molecular dynamics simulation of a protein at 20 times the speed of contemporary processors used in personal computers. In general, using this special hardware, Acellera can provide a computing power at unprecedented low-cost per Gigaflops, delivering 'supercomputing' capabilities at affordable prices.

"Overall results demonstrate the tremendous potential of the Cell architecture for scientific computations in terms of both raw performance and power efficiency"
