My name is Tim Melchior. I am an engineer at UTMC Microelectronic Systems. I am considering modifying PostgreSQL to exploit a new hardware technology that we have developed. I would appreciate any information or suggestions anyone could give me. I am particularly interested in contract/consulting resources that anyone might be able to suggest.

My objective is to bring to market a new paradigm breaking associative memory technology which UTMC Microelectronic Systems has developed. With simple cursor operations, we have benchmarked our hardware at 6000 times faster than Microsoft SQL Server. What we lack is the ODBC and SQL interfaces to this hardware.

Our e.Card Distributed Query Processor is a PCI card which employs two of our content addressable memory engine ICs (originally developed for telecom routers) and a fully programmable 64 bit MIPS processor. The resulting product is essentially a database kernel that performs at router speed. I believe that this product has enormous potential for high performance database applications. Each card can store up to 2 gigabytes of memory. (see http:www.utmc.com/ecard/ for more information)

Any suggestions that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
