After reading your response, there was so much far-out stuff claimed that I first thought that this was a really good practical joke. On second thought it must be an April 1st joke. On third thought it's too late for that so maybe it's just an April month joke. On fourth thought I'm starting to wonder if you're actualy serious (at the great peril of being the the butt of enormous laughter at possibly taking this seriously).
I happen to be a retired video arcade programmer & designer and video console programmer, so I've had a lot of experience in the earlier days of technology that touches on what you mention. So I've got a few comments to mention about what you've said:
I did a lot of work on image compression. My favorite technique for fast stills compression & decompression was wavelet compression. So your mention of it made me wonder if this is for real.
You mentioned a 575 teraflop per chip development. I did a lot of low level assembly programming on advanced 128 bit SIMD (single instruction multiple data) processors. The one thing you mentioned which makes me wonder about your story is your use of BCD (binary coded decimal) - whose usage seems an echo of long ago years and I see no use for it in current designs, and it makes me think this is indeed a ruse. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
You mentioned your company has an in-house SSTO (single stage to orbit) reusable vehicle which you imply is currently working for your use. Does this have anything to do with SWALA Aerospace, or John Hollaway? This is a really really far out thing to say your company has working. So please convince me otherwise.
You have mentioned a ton of inside information about remarkable technoloy, without mentioning the company for verification. But anyone in your industry should be able to figure out who it is by the city and details you've mentioned. So why not mention it here? All in all, you can see why I am very wary of the validity of what you mention.
Your statements are remarkable, either in the very advanced technology developed if true, or the sheer informed brilliance of your ruse if not. When this pandemic and travel restrictions are over, I (& my wife) are planning a trip to the Glacier N.P. and Banff areas as well as the Pacific northwest of the US & Canada. If what you say it true, I would love to stop by and meet you, and get a tour of your facilities if that's allowed. ... Interested?

Binary Coded Decimal I was using in a LOT of Turbo Pascal and Turbo Prolog work where I was dealing with the equivalent of multi-thousand-bit sized integer, fixed point and floating point values for mostly Defence-related A.I. and Deep Aerospace Applications. BCD is actually STILL NEEDED for work at sub-atomic scales and macrocosmic scale for scientific visualization purposes when DOWN or UP-SCALING extremely small or extremely large numbers and then converting the BCDs to fit within 128-bit integer and real number values. We put BCD in because there are a LOT of values used in modern science that STILL does NOT FIT in even a 128-bit value!
We mostly use it for Plasmadynamic simulations and Quantum-Chromodynamic physics exploration where we are exploring (and Manipulating!) the very underlying fabric of SPACE AND TIME!!! --- SOMEONE has to design that fancy HUUUUUUGE-number processing code that calculates the initial or resulting energy values and superposition/pathways of virtual particles being created out of "nothing" as membranes hit each other or strings collide within their 21 dimensional non-Euclidean space! -- THAT WOULD BE ME!
We also don't want to accidentally nucleate a Vacuum Meta-instability Event and destroy the present universe via an expanding bubble of no-longer-false-vacuum, so we need to ACCURATELY calculate the precision of a number of Tera-Electron-Volt limit variables necessary to guard the Earth and this Universe from ACCIDENTAL TOTAL ANNIHILATION!
In terms of validating the NAME of our company, actually YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO !!!! We are completely under the radar and only a Revenue Canada investigation (i.e. only CRA aka the Canadian Government knows!) would be able to dig out the name of the owner(s).
In terms of 575 TeraFLOPS 128 bits wide GaAs superchip, THAT IS OUR SMALL ONE --- We're almost finished on the TWO THz (Two TeraHertz) version which will be a FULL 19.2 PetaFLOPS at 128-bits wide on a combined GaAs/GaN on Ceramic base substrate PER CHIP !!!
I never worked on Prodigy or Black Ops games and neither am I a Marcus Fenix Gears of War fan! BUT I am a low level systems coder with a WHOLE LOT of experience with Realtime 4K/8K/16k/32k/64k/128k resolution Video Capture/Compress/Encrypt/Transmit/Display systems and Realtime Vision Recognition Aerospace applications and hardware!
In terms of finding more about us, I can tell you that we've hid a full size 60 Ghz GaAs 119 ExaFLOP supercomputer (the world's FASTEST by the way!) in an underground facility by the PNE in East Vancouver from even various state-level agencies! They STILL haven't been able to find it EVEN AFTER stationing some bored multi-country lackeys in the Acura MDX, Mercs, Bimmers and Chevy in the parking lot of my Day Job (which has utterly NOTHING to do with my UNPAID off-hours "work" at my friend's facilities!) to follow me home and elsewhere!
They can't even find our hangar which I have EXPLICITY STATED ONLINE is at YVR in Richmond! There is an SSTO craft sitting there in almost PLAIN SIGHT yet they STILL cannot find or see it! So ANYONE ELSE trying to find out where and who we are would have some SIGNIFICANT difficulty! AND .... we have NOTHING to do with SWALA Aerospace or John Hollaway. We are entirely Canadian-based with offices across the country who does highly-specific scientific inquiry and specialty research and development jobs for certain clients that don't like being named!
Anyways, we are introducing some AWESOME imaging software products first that take video and stills processing to the next level, so you will be able to find out ALL ABOUT US in a short little while! Sooooo, I respectfully decline a tour of our factory. (it also happens to be my friend's factory NOT MINE, so I have no say in who gets in or out --- I don't even "officially" work there --- I just do "technical favours" for him!)
Complicated Isn't It?!
P.S. It's all REAL !!!
