"This is basically a reaction to a strong wave of customer interest in our solutions. Our expanded U.S. presence will allow us to support our most strategic opportunities in real-time", stated Mike Calise, executive vice president and general manager of Mitrionics. "The FPGA accelerated computing market is now getting significant traction, and based on our growing partner activity, it is definitely here to stay."

FPGA-Based Accelerated Supercomputing is an exciting and growing market segment based on technology that enables processor performance acceleration 10x to 100x greater than traditional processors. Scientists, developers, and researchers strive to improve productivity by achieving faster performance in their supercomputing applications and lower power consumption in their systems. The software-centric Mitrion Platform is ideal because it allows FPGA Supercomputing applications to be developed without any circuit design skills. Key application areas that stand to benefit most from FPGA Supercomputing are bioinformatics, oil and gas, imaging, and financial computing.
