A System so Advanced, the Military uses it to Guide Drones.

Extreme Trading Hardware

The Modulus NNPC-12 card was originally developed for the military to guide Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Then, we acquired the technology and adapted it to finance.

The Result? An A.I. Board which can "Blow Up" your Trading Counterparties.

Modulus is proud to bring you the new NNPC-12 neural network PCI card for financial applications. The NNPC-12 provides true MIMD processing for the fastest possible network training, evaluation, and implementation.

The heart of the NNP family is the MIMD Neural Network Processor, which provides the basic unit of processing. Multiple NNPs can operate in parallel through a unique bus and connector design.

PCI, ISA, and VME busses are supported with interface boards that have up to two built-in NNPs. Additional NNPs can be stacked on the baseboard. The VME board includes two TMS320C40 DSP Chips.

The boards are supported by all PCs and servers.

Software Toolkit

Available programming tools include an assembler, linker, debugger, and diagnostics program which all allow developers to quickly design and use networks with NNPC-12.

These programming tools allow rapid prototyping of neural network solutions and integration in real-world applications. The programming tools support a variety of paradigms trained with supervised and/or unsupervised training algorithms.

NNPC-12 is available to US-based residents and companies only.

The U.S. Government requires all manufacturers, exporters, and brokers of defense articles, defense services or related technical data to be compliant with ITAR (International Trade and Arms Regulations). Please inform us when applying for custom hardware if ITAR regulations DO or do NOT apply to you. Learn about ITAR here.
