[Socbin] Progeniq's Accelerated Bioinformatics Data Processing Solutions

[senthil kumar]

Dear Sir,

My name is Senthil Kumar, from Progeniq Pte Ltd.

Progeniq is launching its BioBoost product line, which accelerates
computationally intensive applications by 50x-100x faster than a
typical workstation processor. The BioBoost uses Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) technology on a USB 2.0 or PCI based device, to
accelerate applications at significantly lower cost.

Please refer to our website for details: http://www.progeniq.com

If this may assist you in your work, do let me know and I'll be most
delighted to discuss further.

Kind regards,
Senthil Kumar



*Progeniq Launches Universal Version of Accelerated Bioinformatics Data
Processing Solutions for Mac OS X **

*WWDC, SAN FRANCISCO, CA —August 7, 2006— Progeniq today announced a
Universal version of its third generation BioBoost bioinformatics data
processing accelerator for Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger". BioBoost can now
harness the power of Intel-based Macs to make commonly used bioinformatics
applications, such as Pairwise and Multiple Sequence Alignment, up to
10x-50x faster than a typical processor.

"The BioBoost accelerator is a major milestone in bringing new generation
computing technologies to the life sciences industry at mass-market cost,"
said Darran Nathan, Progeniq's Chief Executive Officer. "This is the start
of a whole new wave in computing that promises to drastically cut processing
time for compute-intensive applications across industries, providing
flexible supercomputer-level processing power to end-users at amazingly
affordable prices."

"Apple has a very strong presence across the life sciences field, and
researchers globally are increasingly choosing the power, ease of use and
stability of Mac OS X to drive their work," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice
president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "We're thrilled to see a
Universal version of BioBoost that enhances the bioinformatics data
processing capability of Intel-based Macs so users can run computationally
intensive calculations significantly faster."

BioBoost accelerators provide hardware processing for the most
computationally intensive applications. By utilizing Field Programmable Gate
Array (FPGA) technology, the processor is able to 'rewire' itself on the fly
according to the application that needs to be accelerated. This allows a
single hardware accelerator to speed up any number of supported
applications.

The Universal version of BioBoost allows applications to run on both PowerPC
and Intel-based Macs. Adding BioBoost removes computational bottlenecks and
optimizes the entire workflow providing final results faster.

The Progeniq BioBoost is available for immediate shipment.
