SciEngines HPC solutions

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.

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.

Virtex-7 based RIVYERA - PREORDER NOW

December 21st, 2011 - RIVYERA-V7 2000T with the newest and largest Xilinx Virtex model is now available for (pre)order.

The RIVYERA V7-2000T is a high-performance computer that carries up to 4 computation cards, each with a Virtex 7 2000T FPGA. Currently, the model is available with 'Engineering Samples' only. Availability of regular FPGAs of this model is expected for Summer 2012 and it is already now possible to preorder such a top-of-the-line reconfigurable computer. 2 million logic gates per FPGA allow completely new and complex designs but SciEngines nevertheless still recommends Spartan-6 or Virtex-6 based computing for optimal cost-performance ratio and system-density.
