google accquires PeakStream
PeakStream launched last September with $17 million in Series B funding, helmed by executives from Nvidia, Sun Microsystems, and VMware. Google, Inc. on Tuesday said it has acquired a startup called PeakStream that specializes in software programming tools for high performance, multi-core and parallel processors.
In an e-mail statement, Google said, “We believe the PeakStream team’s broad technical expertise can help build products and features that will benefit our users. We look forward to providing them with additional resources as they continue developing high performance applications for modern multi-core systems.” A Google spokesperson declined to detail the price. Redwood Shores, Calif.-based PeakStream’s Web site has been down most of Tuesday afternoon, possibly a consequence of the acquisition news. A company spokesperson was not immediately available to comment on the purchase.
