Bio

Andrew Richards is the founder of Codeplay. Based in Edinburgh, Codeplay was set up in 1999 to research and develop advanced compiler technologies for parallel systems and next generation multi-core processor architectures. The company offers custom compilers for advanced architectures such as asymmetric multi-core processors, GPUs, custom vector processors and graphics shader units.

Codeplay also provides customised compiler technology at high level (for taking single-core C/C++ software and splitting it up into multi-core software) and low level (for taking multi-core C/C++ and compiling to highly scheduled and vectorized assembly language). Codeplay’s compiler technology was chosen by AGEIA™ Technologies, Inc., the pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for games, to power its revolutionary Physics Processing Unit, the PhysX™ chip.
