Weitek Corporation was a former chip-design company that originally concentrated on floating point units for a number of commercial CPU
designs.
During the early to mid-1980s, Weitek designs could be found powering a number of high-end designs and parallel processing
supercomputers. During the early 1990s most CPU designs started including FPUs built-into the system, basically "for free", and Weitek
made a series of attempts to break into the general CPU and graphics driver market. By 1995 the company was almost dead, and in
late 1996 the remains were purchased by Rockwell Semiconductor and quickly disappeared.
