Micron's Automata Processor Continues to Drive Industry Adoption With Launch of Software Development Kit
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Expanded Suite of Tools and Resources for Parallel Processing Architecture
Enable Developer Community to Build, Compile, Simulate, and Debug Their Designs
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MU), one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor
solutions, today announced the availability of the evaluation version of
the Automata Processor (AP) software development kit (SDK). With the new SDK,
developers can design and test advanced applications in areas such as
bioinformatics, video/image analytics, and network security, which require high
performance, computational efficiency and highly parallel processing
capabilities.
Micron announced the AP, a dramatically new parallel processing architecture, to
the industry at the 2013 Supercomputing Conference. The AP is a unique and
scalable computing fabric that allows users to harness the power of tens of
thousands to millions of processing elements. The AP SDK enables users to
connect these elements and create a task-specific processing engine capable of
solving big data problems with unprecedented performance.
"Micron's Automata Processor technology is a radical departure from traditional
compute offload accelerators," said Paul Teich, CTO and Senior Analyst at Moor
Insights & Strategy. "Micron's technology has the potential to accelerate high-
value segments of big data pattern recognition for complex, unstructured data
streams, some of which are not economical to address at scale today."
"By providing a fundamentally new and powerful technology, plus the tools to
operate and program it, Micron is providing developers and customers an entirely
new way to power their innovation," said Paul Dlugosch, director of Automata
Processor development for Micron's compute and networking business unit. "One of
the most challenging problems facing the developer community today is programmer
productivity. In many cases, productivity is lost as developers work to identify
and implement high levels of parallelism on conventional architectures. The
Automata Processor and SDK will provide a new alternative for implementing very
high levels of hardware parallelism without the complexities associated with von
Neumann-style architectures."
The Center for Automata Processing
The University of Virginia and Micron Technology have founded the Center for
Automata Processing (CAP) to catalyze the growth of an ecosystem focused on
research, application and system development by leveraging the expertise of
academic and industrial researchers and fostering collaborations to advance the
field of automata computing. CAP membership benefits will include low-cost
access to Automata Processor tools and resources, plus training and support in a
research and support environment comprised of researchers from multiple
institutions and organizations. For information on joining the CAP, visit .
SDK Availability
The AP SDK is currently available through Micron's developer portal. Visit
micron.com/automata to request access to resources that include a visual
development environment, compiler, design rules checker, regular expression to
automata generator and AP simulator. The SDK will also available through
membership with the Center for Automata Processing.
About Automata Processor
Micron's Automata Processor (AP) is a reconfigurable processing architecture
that enables programmers to easily exploit massive parallelism. The AP is
purpose-built to address the processing challenges associated with graph
analysis, pattern matching and data analytics.
The AP will be demonstrated at Micron booth #1949 at the 2014 Supercomputing
Conference held November 17-20 in New Orleans.
