Starting in 1983 the company followed Microway, the company that a year earlier provided the software needed by scientists and engineers to modify the IBM-PC Fortran compiler so that it could transparently employ Intel 8087s. The 80-bit Intel 8087 math coprocessor ran a factor of 50 faster than the 8/16-bit 8088 CPU that the IBM-PC software came with. However, in 1982 the speed up in floating point intensive applications was only a factor of 10 as the initial software developed by Microway and Hauppauge continued to call floating point libraries to do computations instead of placing inline x87 instructions inline with the 8088's instructions that allowed the 8088 to drive the 8087 directly. By 1984 inline compilers made their way into the market providing increased speed ups. Hauppauge provided similar software products in competition with Microway that they bundled with math coprocessors and remained in the Intel math coprocessor business until 1993 when the Intel Pentium came out with a built in math coprocessor. However like other companies that entered the math coprocessor business, Hauppauge produced other products that contributed to a field that is today called HPC - High Performance Computing.
