FPGA supercomputing earns Top BioIT
award

Reconfigurable accelerator boards based on FPGA technology have been ranked among the Top Ten BioIT trends for 2007 as published by the industry publication BioIT World.

Work carried out by SGI and Mitrionics has been named as one of the Top Ten BioIT Trends for 2007 published in the industry publication BioIT World SGI's Altix family of servers is based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) processor technology and SGI RASC RC100 computation blades

Mitrion is developer of the Mitrion Virtual Processor and software-centric Mitrion-C programming language for FPGA Supercomputing acceleration.

Compiled by the BioTeam, a consulting collective dedicated to delivering vendor-agnostic informatics solutions to the life-sciences industry, the Top Ten list of BioIT trends has placed at number 5 "Reconfigurable Accelerator Boards (FPGAs)", an area in which Mitrionics and SGI collaborate and for which they were both mentioned in the report.

"The list is totally unordered, so being number 5 is not necessarily different than being 3 or being 8", says Christopher Dwan, BioTeam Principal Investigator, who recommended the addition of FPGAs to the BioIT Trends list".
