Dev kit gets FPGA designs right before synthesis
New diagnostics and optimisation features allow users to shorten development times by troubleshooting, debugging and optimising Mitrion processor designs before FPGA synthesis.
Supercomputing platform upgrades to latest FPGAs
The Mitrion Platform, consisting of the Mitrion Virtual Processor and Mitrion Software Development Kit, now fully supports Xilinx Virtex-4 Platform FPGAs.
Before Mitrionics, FPGAs had the ability to run supercomputing applications, but it was prohibitively difficult and complex to program them using the traditional existing hardware design tools.
Mitrionics' revolutionary technology has removed the barriers of high cost, extreme complexity, and long development times to make supercomputing performance accessible to entirely new markets and segments of scientists and developers.
Using the Mitrion C programming language, a mere 180 lines of code can g
