Hybrid computing systems combine CPUs with accelerators to provide added performance for applications. The Mitrion Software Acceleration Platform from Mitrionics is a unique solution for using Field Programmable Gate Arrays, FPGAs as low power software accelerators, delivering 10-100 times the performance of unaccelerated systems, enabling 90% power savings. This technology brief introduces FPGAs and FPGA technology, gives an overview of FPGA-based hybrid computing systems and describes how the Mitrion Virtual Processor enables software developers to take advantage FPGA software acceleration.
