quote on accelogic
"The 1,000 speedup that these (LAPACKrc) projects are targeting -- through strong FPGA computing innovations at the algorithm level -- can change the paradigm of supercomputing as we know it today."
Dr. Dongarra is a co-author of LAPACK and BLAS, the linear algebra routines used by virtually every software compiler in the world.

Tim Davis Professor, Computer and Information Science and Engineering Department, University of Florida
"Accelogic's pioneering work on radically different FPGA algorithms opens a plethora of opportunities for developing new mathematical theories and practical software armed with disruptive acceleration."
Dr. Timothy Davis is the author of a suite of sparse matrix packages that are widely used in the industry, academia, and government research labs. He is also the co-author of the MATLAB Primer (Chapman & Hall/CRC Press, 2005), a well-used introduction to MATLAB.

Jim Demmel Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of California at Berkeley
The tremendous success that Accelogic has already obtained [...], will surely permeate and serve as a foundation for success for Phase II, resulting in a robust, easy-to-use, portable product line with unprecedented speed for numerical linear algebra computations – and with incredibly high impact on many application fields.
Dr. James Demmel is a world authority in numerical analysis, mathematical programming, and sparse methods. His research program is focused on the development of algorithms for solving large-scale linear systems, computing eigenvalues of sequences of matrices, and estimating functions of matrices. Along with Jack Dongarra, Dr. Demmel is also the primary driver behind the LAPACK and ScaLAPACK packages.

President, Vanderplaats R&D
“Your technology offers a groundbreaking and very unique approach to solve these bottlenecks and move the state of the art in the field, to levels of performance never seen before [...] With the computational bottlenecks removed, hardware-accelerated optimization technology would enable the discovery of novel solutions and geometries, and would potentially change the paradigm of design as we currently know it.”

Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science, Stanford University
Dr. Golub, one of the brightest minds in the field of numerical computing and one of the most cited references in the field of numerical linear algebra, was a valued member of Accelogic’s scientific team, a co-founder of Accelogic’s research program on FPGA linear algebra computing (2005), and an active contributor to LAPACK. His legacy with Accelogic includes several groundbreaking algorithms for sparse matrix computing, as well as three fundamental patents behind Accelogic's LAPACKrc. "We will always remember you, Gene. Your spirit will stay with Accelogic."
“Your approach to linear equation resolution is truly impressive, and has the potential to shift the paradigm of scientific computing .”
