Some Recent New Industries (continued)
Austek Microsystems Pty. Ltd. is a company founded in 1984 to commercialize a break-through design technology developed by CSIRO through their VLSI Programme. Since then, Austek's export sales have included a floating-point arithmetic processor chip for an American computer company and samples of signal processing chips for Japan. It has just released its first proprietary standard product, the world's first single-chip cache controller operating at 20 Mz and to augment the performance of 80386-based computer systems. The Company's products are engineering intensive, their competitive advantage coming from an ability to conceive high performance computer sub-systems that can be realised on a single VLSI integrated circuit. They also have the ability, through CAD tools, to design complex silicon chips very quickly and get them to market rapidly.
