PORTLAND, OR, Nov 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
SUPERCOMPUTING 2009, SC09 Booth #1006 -- Mitrionics, Inc., the technology
leader in FPGA-based hybrid computing, today announced it has signed a
joint reseller agreement with GiDEL Ltd., a leading supplier of
FPGA-based accelerated computing systems and cards, whereby both
companies will resell each other's FPGA-based accelerated computing
hardware and software. The companies began working together
collaboratively to integrate their technologies in early 2009 on a
research project with the University of Florida. The successful
integration of their products led to this mutually beneficial business
partnership. Products from both companies are available immediately.
Under the agreement, GiDEL will resell the Mitrion Accelerated Computing
Platform consisting of the Mitrion Software Development Kit and Mitrion
Virtual Processor. The first two GiDEL cards supported and sold by
Mitrionics are the PROCStar III(TM) PCIe x8 Computational Accelerator
Card and PROCe III(TM) PCIe x4 Computational Accelerator Card. Mitrionics
will support and sell additional GiDEL cards in the future. The products
are available immediately from both companies.
"GiDEL is excited to partner with Mitrionics in this new business
relationship, and we look forward to further collaborations with them
regarding our respective technologies," commented Reuven Weintraub, GiDEL
President and CTO. "The GiDEL and Mitrionics accelerated computing
solution will combine two proven industry most powerful products enables
developers and researchers to increase application performance and reduce
electrical power and costs."
"Mitrionics and GiDEL have already established a successful technology
collaboration between our companies and products through our work on the
NSF research project for the Novo-G 96-FPGA supercomputer at the
University of Florida," said Robert Wall, director of business
development for Mitrionics, Inc. "We are now looking forward to a strong
and mutually beneficial business relationship that will bring value and
increase market adoption of accelerated computing platforms and
solutions."
The Mitrion Accelerated Computing Platform is designed to provide
researchers and developers with the latest parallel programming tools for
FPGAs that do not require any hardware design knowledge or experience.
The Mitrion Platform enables rapid development of new accelerated
applications in bioinformatics, computer-aided design, data mining,
financial services, government/defense, and oil and gas industries.
Systems running applications accelerated using the Mitrion Platform
generally perform 20x to 100x faster than traditional systems while
decreasing electrical power requirements by ninety percent.
Mitrion SDK 2.0 - Accelerated Computing Platform
The Mitrion SDK is a complete development environment for accelerating
applications while making it easy for programmers to learn how to write
software using parallel programming techniques that take advantage of the
parallel processing capabilities of the Mitrion Virtual Processor. The SDK
includes the Mitrion-C parallel programming language, a compiler, and
graphical code-simulator to identify programming errors, performance
bottlenecks, and inefficient code. Mitrionics offers a free SDK Personal
Edition that supports Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X which can be
downloaded from: http://www.mitrionics.com/?page=Downloads
