Mitrionics' Provides Free Software Development Kit to Accelerate FPGA Supercomputing Application Development

determine their actual performance on different FPGA platforms Mitrion-C: The Mitrion-C programming language is an implicitly parallel programming language with syntax very similar to C. With Mitrion-C it is easy for programmers to learn how to write software that takes advantage of all the parallelism available from the Mitrion Virtual Processor.

Mitrion Compiler and Debugger: The Mitrion Compiler and the Debugger are available as a command-line tool or directly from inside the Mitrion Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The Mitrion Debugger is a graphical debugger and code-simulator. It simplifies finding programming errors, performance bottlenecks and inefficient code. All common debugging tools, such as watch point, breakpoints, call-dependencies are provided.

The Mitrion SDK PE is supported on Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. A commercial version of the Mitrion SDK is also available from Mitrionics, together with numerous support and training options.

About FPGA Supercomputing

FPGA Supercomputing is an exciting and growing market segment based on technology that enables processor performance acceleration 10x to 100x greater than traditional processors. Scientists, developers, and researchers strive to improve productivity by achieving faster performance in their supercomputing applications and lower power consumption in their systems. The software-centric Mitrion Platform is ideal because it allows FPGA Supercomputing applications to be developed without any circuit design skills. Key application areas that stand to benefit most from FPGA Supercomputing are bioinformatics, oil and gas, imaging, and financial industries.

About the Mitrion Platform and Mitrion Virtual Processor

The fine-grained, massively parallel Mitrion Virtual Processor is the core of the Mitrion Platform. It runs software written in the Mitrion-C programming language in FPGAs and completely eliminates the need for the programmer to master hardware design. The Mitrion Virtual Processor has a unique architecture that lets it be adapted to each program it is running in order to maximize performance. Together with the Mitrion Software Development Kit, it offers a unique solution for developing supercomputing applications for FPGAs on a true software level. This dramatically reduces the total development costs for FPGA-based software acceleration, and more importantly, enables the whole supercomputing industry to benefit from FPGA application acceleration.
