Mitrionics' CTO presents FPGA acceleration technologies at MRSC

Mitrionics AB, developer of the Mitrion Software Acceleration Platform and the Mitrion Virtual Processor, today announced that Stefan Möhl, Mitrionics co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer, will discuss the company's latest FPGA acceleration technology advancements, Green Computing, and hybrid computing strategies during two presentations at the Many-core and Reconfigurable Supercomputing Conference (MRSC) being held at The Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Mitrionics is hosting one-half day workshop on Tuesday April 1st. The workshop will cover a broad range of introductory-to-advanced topics, using the 60x acceleration of the NCBI BLAST application as an example of a successful implementation. The workshop is designed to provide attendees with a theoretical as well as a working knowledge of how to develop FPGA accelerated applications. Mr. Möhl will also deliver a high-level presentation on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 discussing "What is next for accelerators? Turf war or collaboration?" "FPGA accelerated computing has gained significant momentum as new technologies, initiatives, and applications have contributed to increased interest and adoption of this technology. One of the big drivers for FPGA-based acceleration is the fact that FPGAs generate increased processing performance using less electrical power. The Mitrion Virtual Processor is a key enabler for Green FPGA Computing," said Stefan Möhl, co-founder and chief technology officer of Mitrionics AB.
