SciEngines Products and Services
SciEngines is a young innovation-driven company located in Kiel, Germany. The company was established in 2007 on the vision that we can satisfy the computational needs in science and engineering.
To do so, SciEngines offers a number of reconfigurable computing (RC) products, ranging from PCI express accelerator cards with 4-8 chips to large-scale FPGA clusters with dozens, hundreds or thousands of FPGAs for high performance computing (HPC) applications. Our architectures provide a maximum in computing ressources, and adjustments can be made to emphasize raw processing power, data-throughput or memory.
Our current flagship products in the area of reconfigurable HPC are:
-
formica - 8 to 32 Spartan-6 LX150(T) USB-connected accelerator module
-
COPACOBANA - 120 Spartan-3 1000 or Virtex-4 SX35 FPGA computer
-
RIVYERA - 8 to 256 Spartan-3 5000, Spartan-6 LX150 or Virtex-6 LX550 FPGA cluster
These products greatly accelerate computation in a variety of fields, including biosciences, cryptography, engineering, financial mathematics, image & signal processing, simulations in physics or logistics, etc. while helping to save money due to an energy efficiency that is 100 times better than what competitive technologies offer.
Should you have specific hardware requirements that aren't fulfilled by our standard, commercial off the shelf (COTS) products, please let us know and we will be happy to provide our custom hardware design services. In case that you are interested in some specific algorithm that is not yet ported to our machines, we are also happy to provide algorithm optimization as well as implementation support.

New accelerated Smith-Waterman available |
|
April 4th, 2012 - SciEngines is happy to announce the availability of a new accelerated version of the Smith-Waterman algorithm for high-quality alignment of genetic sequences.
This new version of Smith-Waterman is featuring a variety of settings and is further improved in speed. 3 TCUPS on a RIVYERA S3-5000 when analysing real-live NGS human genome data is reached.
Features include:
User-definable scoring matrix, affine gap penalties support, calculation of reverse complement, multiple query files as well as multiple database files for accelerated sequence alignment.
Currently, plain-Text output as well as SAM output is supported and a command-line interface with commands equal to NCBI versions allows integration into analysis pipelines. An integration with the workbenches from CLC bio is underway.

CLC bio and SciEngines collaborate on 188x acceleration of BLAST |
|
Kiel, Germany and Aarhus, Denmark -- January 10, 2012 -- Today, CLC bio and German high performance computing experts, SciEngines, announced a collaboration to completely integrate CLC bio's server- and desktop-based sequence analysis software with SciEngines' FPGA-based RIVYERA platform for massively parallel computing. Initially, the system will feature implementations of nucleotide-nucleotide BLAST (BLASTn), protein-protein BLAST (BLASTp), and Smith-Waterman. More algorithms will be added continuously.
