Bilateral Contracts with Industry

A contract with the French company Kalray (http://www.kalray.eu ) was established early 2013. It provided to the team the Kalray 256-core MPPA platform and necessary funding to recruit a student for a 6-months internship: Dhruva Tirumala Bukkapatnam. A deep evaluation of the platform regarding performance and programming strategies has been accomplished. Moreover, an extension of the source-to-source compiler Pluto (http://pluto-compiler.sourceforge.net ), allowing to automatically generate code adapted for the MPPA has been mostly implemented.
