NeST to participate in Multicore expo 2007, October 31 and November 1, Tokyo, Japan
Multi-core processors represent a major evolution in computing technology. Multi-core processors will eventually become the pervasive computing model because they offer performance and productivity benefits beyond the capabilities of today’s single-core processors. And the developer’s community should align themselves to tap the potential in the multi-core computing. Multicore association is one of the premier association in the multi core computing industry .And its objective is to create standards for the multi core computing industry. Multi core expo 2007, which is the second multi core expo in Japan will feature many technical and executive sessions, as well as keynotes by Sony Computer Entertainment and Ricoh. There will also be a presentation and exhibit with the Multicore Association. The event is where the multi core industry defines its future and creates business. NeST Software as an early adaptor of multi-core technology, triggers to participate in the Multi-core expo 2007. Nest has expertise and experience in multi -core computing and has successfully adapted the technology to the benefit of healthcare domain. NeST Software will make a presentation on Leveraging SIMD Architectures for Data Intensive Applications. To book a meeting with NeST software team at multi core expo 2007, please write us an email at multicore@nestgroup.net For more information about multi core expo please visit www.multicore-expo.com |
NeST acquires Ashling, an Ireland based embedded tools software development company February 09, 2007NeST has bought Ashling Microsystems Ltd. (Limerick, Ireland) a supplier of embedded software and hardware development tools for an undisclosed amount. NeST provides information technology outsourcing services around the world and has growth plans for Ashling's development tools business which it intends to turn into an embedded systems development services business unit, Ashling said. "Ashling is a very good fit for the NeST group," said Javad Hassan, chairman of NeST (Chantilly, Virginia), in a statement issued by Ashling. "The real-time embedded software development tools business of Ashling has strong potential and we will leverage our depth of engineering resources and worldwide presence to drive growth in this area. We will also work with the Ashling team to establish an EU based centre of excellence for embedded software services and we are hopeful that we can rapidly grow the software services business in Europe." John Murphy, managing director of Ashling Microsystems said: "Becoming part of the NeST Group gives us the resources we need to significantly grow market share in real-time embedded development tools. We also see a large market for embedded software services and we are really looking forward to working with NeST to grow this business." |
NeST becomes a Corporate Member of SEMI October 26, 2005SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International), a global industry association, serving companies that develop and provide the manufacturing technology, materials and services to make semiconductors, flat panel displays (FPDs), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and related microelectronics has recognized NeST as a software development services company and proclaimed Network Systems and Technologies (P) Ltd. as a Corporate Member of SEMI. |
NeST Interface A Package Released on 30th June 2006Monday, 12th June 2006: NeST today released ICEBridgeA, its Interface A package on June 30th 2006. This 100% Interface A compliant, user friendly solution for the semiconductor industry would facilitate robust Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA) and aid in Advanced Process Control (APC), key to modern day Control Systems. Facilitating multichannel data acquisition, integration and improved data quality, ICEBridgeA has evolved as a robust framework encompassing SEMI standards E120, E125, E132, and E134. Aimed at establishing improved communication between chip manufacturers data acquisition software applications and factory tools, ICEBridgeA would implement SEMI standards E120, E125, E132, and E134 together and enable convenient interfaces for EDA using SOAP/XML messages over an HTTP or HTTPS connection. Interface A-compliant package addresses insufficient DAQ issue Acronyms:

NeST to Make Memory Chips in IndiaWhile other semiconductor companies are shifting their memory chip manufacturing to places such as China and Singapore, Network Systems & Technologies Group (NeST), an R&D- and EMS-oriented group based in Kochi, south India, is keeping its manufacturing base in India. NeST has been involved in component manufacturing; it contract-manufactured ultra-thin Lithium (Li) batteries for smart cards for NTK Powerdex of the US. And the company is now planning to manufacture other components such as rechargeable batteries and planar lightwave circuits used in broadband applications. The building of a pigtailing and packaging facility is underway, according to Dr Suresh Nair, director of R&D at NeST. NeST is the first local company to have collaborated with the Central Glass & Ceramic Research Institute of India to develop a competitive erbium-doped fiber amplifier for optical communications. It has recently developed a FiberSentinel System (FSS) based on WaveSense intrusion prevention technology, which employs artificial intelligence and optical signature recognition analysis techniques to detect intrusions into optical/DWDM networks. The manufacturing of fiber-optic components for FTTH systems that are sold in Japan has led to the creation of 700 new jobs in India for NeST. The company is now monitoring the US/European FTTH markets with a view to further expansion. NeST has developed, through improved design and the availability of finer fabrication technologies, a truly fused 1 x 4 wavelength independent splitter with special packaging methods to improve the reliability of these couplers. NeST is one of the few companies worldwide that has the know-how to develop broadband truly fused couplers, according to Nair |
NeST develops virtual access pointNeST has successfully developed Virtual Access Points (AP s) on Wireless LAN access point equipment, while working on a project for a leading Japanese product reseller. This has only a very few parallels internationally. The virtual access point is developed as a service on wireless LAN equipment that utilizes Intel (R) IXP network processor. The equipment has one WAN port, one LAN port and two 802.11g compliant 54Mbps wireless LAN access point functionality. The wireless LAN access points provide features like WDS, virtual AP etc. Virtual AP capability is achieved by using multiple Basic Service Set Identifiers (BSSIDs), Virtual LANs (VLANs), and Quality of Service (QoS) in addition to enhanced security features like WPA2, WPA, QoS and Radius accounting. Further it provides basic broadband router functions, PPPoE client, DNS Proxy, DHCP Server and DHCP Relay functions. Using this devices, multiple wireless hot spots can be configured. Virtual Access Point" is a logical entity that exists within a physical WLAN access device. A Virtual AP appears to stations to be an independent physical AP, even though it is really one of many WLAN services radiating from a single access device. Each Virtual AP represents an instantiation of a complete 802.11 media access control (MAC) protocol layer, including a unique Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID), Service Set Identifier (SSID) and capability set. Each Virtual AP may be configured by the network manager like a physical AP, including definition of SSID names and enabling the SSID for broadcast or private operation. |
