Dr. Javier Moya, Oreol’s CEO and founder, is a visionary in heterogeneous computing. He played a pivotal role in developing cutting-edge technology platforms based on IBM’s DOME MicroDataCenter and cloudFPGA. At ETH Zurich’s Systems Group, Javier led the rebuilding of the ETHZ Heterogeneous Accelerated Compute Cluster (ETHZ-HACC) and developed the Systems Group RunTime for device management. His innovation culminated in Oreol’s first product, Hyperion, an on-premises acceleration platform that empowers specialized acceleration engineers with efficient device management and application development.
As the CTO and Head of Product at DC-ONE AG (later known as GRAPIN AG), Javier held the responsibility of spearheading the development of a cutting-edge technology platform for heterogeneous computing. This platform was built upon IBM’s Research Europe Zurich DOME MicroDataCenter and cloudFPGA high-performance computing platforms. To get to know more, please follow this link.
In 2021, Javier joined Prof. Dr. Gustavo Alonso’s research team at the Systems Group, ETH Zurich (ETHZ). During the first two years of his engagement at ETH, Javier took on the ambitious project of completely rebuilding the ETHZ Heterogeneous Accelerated Compute Cluster (ETHZ-HACC).
Such a cluster is one of the five HACCs established as part of the AMD University Program, distributed across some of the world’s most prestigious universities. For additional details, please visit:
With the ETHZ-HACC expanding in terms of both server count and the variety of accelerators, from FPGAs to ACAPs, FPGAs, multi-core GPUs, and GPUs, the management of this diverse range of devices and the deployment of accelerated applications became increasingly challenging.
To address these challenges, Javier developed the Systems Group RunTime, a unified software suite including a CLI and API. For more comprehensive information, please visit:
Oreol’s first product, Hyperion, is an on-premises acceleration platform that streamlines the development of complex acceleration applications by combining modern energy-efficient multi-core servers, reconfigurable and specialized processors, and a customized RunTime. With a focus on empowering specialized hardware engineers, data scientists, and research institutions, Hyperion is specifically designed to address the demands of modern workloads solving diverse computing-intensive tasks.
