Optimize the performance of your most strategic libraries and toolchains in AARCH64 (CPUs, embedded firmware, and libraries)

American Chip(AC) is a start-up made up of diverse expertise spanning major cloud vendors, HPC, Supercomputer Centers, Ph. D.s in Compilers, Academia, and Intel. AC provides developer services for architecture-specific tuning for AARCH64 (CPUs, embedded firmware, and libraries).

The team works with customers to optimize their most strategic toolchains for Arm. Their work focuses on libraries that include auto-parallelization, storage, linear algebra, and machine learning among others.

Some of the things they are doing include:

  1. Optimizing code to leverage NEON and SVE, SVE2 intrinsics wherever suitable.
  2. Improving LLVM, GCC, compiler’s heuristics for AARCH64.
  3. Tuning toolchains to produce code meeting code-size requirements such as for microcontroller environments.
  4. Applying hand-written assembly routines where appropriate in libraries to accelerate performance.

AC can provide you with toolchain optimization, application performance, and porting for AARCH64 enhancing your system's competitive edge for customers and partners.
