Rupert has also held senior positions at Real Wireless, Picochip (later Mindspeed, now Intel), Atlantic Telecom and Analog Devices.

Dr Black is a veteran of the semiconductor industry, having run several international technology businesses in Europe and the US. He is currently the CEO of Codasip, a German RISC-V IP core provider, having previously been CEO of GPU core vendor Imagination Technologies, as well as Rambus, MobiWire, UPEK, and Wavecom.

“We are delighted to welcome Rupert, Ron and Guillaume to our Board of Advisors,” said Dr Audrey Stone, CEO of Blueshift Memory. “Between them the advisors bring a wealth of business knowledge and experience to assist Blueshift Memory through its growth phase.”

“Our advisors have a perfect mix of technical insight and commercial expertise,” said Peter Marosan, Founder and CTO of Blueshift Memory. “Collectively they combine many years of experience leading fast-growing technology companies with specialist knowledge of licensing semiconductor IP, which is exactly what we need to take Blueshift Memory to the next level.”

“Blueshift Memory’s novel Cambridge Architecture enables more efficient and higher-performance processing for memory-hungry applications such as Big Data, in-memory databases, AI training and computer vision,” said Dr Ron Black. “Its low latency and acceleration of memory access can help break through the ‘memory wall’ that has been inhibiting performance in these and other memory-intensive use cases.”
