About the Mitrion-C Open Bio Project | The Mitrion Virtual Processor | |||
The purpose of the Mitrion-C Open Bio Project is to accelerate key bioinformatics applications by porting their performance critical parts to Mitrion-C and running these on the Mitrion Virtual Processor in FPGAs. The first bioinformatics application that has been developed by the Mitrion-C Open Bio Project is a version of NCBI BLAST with an accelerated BLASTN program for nucleotide searches. Currently, the project is working on porting the BLASTP protein search algorithm to Mitrion-C. The initial port of BLASTN has been done by Mitrionics with SGI contributing integration work for the SGI RASC RC100 platform. |
The Mitrion Virtual Processor is a fine-grained, massively parallel, configurable soft-core processor that allows software to execute on FPGAs, without the software developer having to deal with the hardware desing tool complexities of working directly with the FPGA hardware. |
