Santa Clara: Transmeta, a company that develops and licenses computer technologies, has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Nvidia, a visual computing technology provider, granting Nvidia a non-exclusive license to use Transmeta's Long Run and LongRun2 technologies and other intellectual properties, in connection with Nvidia products.
The agreement grants to Nvidia a non-exclusive and fully paid-up license to all of Transmeta's patents and patent applications, and a non-exclusive license and transfer of certain Transmeta advanced power management and other computing technologies.
Under the agreement, Nvidia has agreed to pay Transmeta a one-time, non-refundable license fee of $25.0 million. The agreement also includes mutual general releases of all claims by both parties.
According to Transmeta, the long run2 technology is a set of advanced power management, leakage, control and process compensation technologies that are meant to reduce the negative effects of increasing leakage power and process variations in new process geometrics.
