Product history

The first Kalray patent was filed in 2010. Today the company holds more than 30 patent families, including 2 families with an exclusive CEA license.

On 22 June 2015, Kalray began the distribution of data center acceleration board families: TurboCard and KONIC,[2] for networking and storage applications, both of which can be programmed with either standard C or C++.[3] TurboCard and KONIC both utilize the MPPA2-256 Bostan 2nd generation processor.

Listing on Euronext

In 2017, ahead of the launch of Kalray's third-generation microprocessor, Safran[4] and Pengpai joined the company's historical investors (mainly CEA Investissement, ACE, INOCAP).[5] In 2018, Alliance Ventures (strategic venture capital fund operated by Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi) and Definvest (an investment fund managed by Bpifrance on behalf of the French Ministry of Armed Forces) also acquired stakes in Kalray.[6]

On June 12, 2018, Kalray launched its IPO on the Euronext Paris Stock Market[7] and raised €47.7M (after exercise of the over-allocation option), "the most significant IPO since Euronext Growth was created in Paris".[8]
