2004
Sean Krakiwsky (President & CEO), Ryan Schneider (CTO), Dr. Michal Okoniewski (Chief Scientist) and two others co-found Acceleware after conducting years of research using special-purpose hardware to accelerate scientific computing software applications. They focus on using graphics-processing units (GPUs) rather than traditional CPUs as processing tools, and discover how to harness the abundant, parallel-computing resources and much higher memory bandwidth of a GPU to accelerate a specific application.
