CPU Tech Joins Hughes Processor Team
 Pleasanton - January 12, 1999 - CPU Tech announced has been selected by Hughes Space & Communications to join a Hughes team studying different architectures for a new generation of space-based computers.

CPU Tech has been investing in processor design automation tools and methodologies for over nine years. Its core technologies, Behavioral Verification Technology and SystemLab are industry firsts in the application of extensive compatibility testing and complex system virtual prototyping, assuring comprehensive design compatibility and performance.

CPU Technology's processor development methodology delivers low risk, fully functional designs in a shortened development cycle and at significantly reduced cost.

Hughes Space & Communications Company builds spacecraft, payloads and complete systems for commercial customers worldwide and for the Department of Defense, NASA and other U.S. Government agencies. The company is known for its industry-leading technologies, manufacturing efficiency and spacecraft reliability.

HSC has produced more than 165 satellites over the past 35 years at a rate averaging one a month in recent years. Its commercial communications spacecraft have accumulated nearly 900 years in orbit, more than twice HSC's nearest competitor. More than 95% of its spacecraft have remained in service beyond their scheduled retirement dates.

CPU Technology, Inc. is a major supplier of compatible ASSPs and Systems-on-Silicon to high-end embedded systems markets in the aerospace, automotive and industrial control industries. Its customers include Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. Government.

The company has over 35 patents issued or pending in the areas of system and processor design and complex system modeling. Using proprietary technologies for microprocessor development, including reconfigurable processor frameworks, compatibility testing and system virtual prototyping, CPU Tech delivers efficient, affordable and reliable long-term compatible microprocessor solutions.

The privately held company was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Pleasanton.
