SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Astera Labs, a pioneer in purpose-built connectivity solutions for intelligent systems, today announced that it has been nominated by the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) as a finalist for their 2021 ‘Start-Up to Watch’ award. Each year, GSA’s Private Awards Committee nominates the most promising semiconductor companies that have demonstrated unparalleled excellence through their vision, innovation and execution in addressing a future market opportunity.
“We are delighted to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious GSA award,” said Jitendra Mohan, CEO and co-founder of Astera Labs. “Our nomination for this award is a testament to Astera Labs’ innovation and progress in addressing the performance bottlenecks in data-intensive systems that are limiting the true potential of applications such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.”
Since the company’s founding in 2018, Astera Labs has designed, developed and launched a broad portfolio of purpose-built connectivity solutions in record time based on standard protocols such as PCI Express® (PCIe®) and Compute Express Link™ (CXL™). Astera Labs shortened its chip development design cycle, raised productivity and reduced costs by adopting a 100 percent cloud-based design approach — an industry-first for a private company developing complex SoC products. The company’s portfolio of products empower system designers to implement complex topologies for heterogeneous computing and composable disaggregation in data-centric applications while improving resource availability, bandwidth, and overall system performance.
“The GSA congratulates Astera Labs on being nominated as a finalist for the 2021 ‘Start-Up to Watch’ award,” said Jodi Shelton, GSA CEO and co-founder. “Astera was selected for demonstrating vision and innovative application of its technology for overcoming barriers to realizing the benefits of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the cloud.”
