Mitrionics and Reservoir Labs, a leading-edge consulting and contract R and D firm to the computer industry and government, have announced a joint development collaboration towards Reservoir's recently awarded DARPA SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) project 'Productivity advancements for configurable computing'.
Mitrionics and Reservoir Labs will begin the first phase of the project to illustrate productivity enhancements from combining the Mitrionics FPGA supercomputing development platform and Reservoir Labs' R-Stream compiler.
The scope of the work is to target Reservoir's advanced R-Stream research compiler to Mitrionics' virtual processor and other widely used FPGA tools such as CHiMPS (Compiling High-Level Languages to Massively Pipelined Systems, a software-like compilation flow).
R-Stream provides advanced high-level program optimisation and mapping technologies, which in turn enables parallel programming over a distributed heterogeneous architecture (typical of FPGAs).

Combining R-Stream with Mitrionics' virtual processor could substantially facilitate the programmability of FPGAs.
'Reservoir Labs is pleased to bring over 15 years of experience working on compilers for advanced computing architectures to this project with Mitrionics', said Richard Lethin, President of Reservoir Labs.
'Our high level optimisation technologies will allow users to rapidly deploy Mitrionics' technology for programming FPGAs to achieve significant computational rates and efficiencies for next generation HPC problems'.
'Advancing productivity for configurable computing is at the core of what Mitrionics and our Mitrion Platform is all about', stated Anders Dellson, CEO of Mitrionics.
'We're excited to be collaborating with Reservoir Labs on this project as our technologies are complementary and expertise well-suited to addressing this challenging endeavour'.
