Falcon Computing Solutions

Falcon Computing Solutions, founded in 2014, specializes in providing seamless and scalable acceleration solutions for big data applications. The company operates in various vertical markets including genomics, finance, and machine learning. Falcon Computing's core products include the Merlin Compiler and Kestrel Runtime, which simplify FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) acceleration of compute-intensive applications. These tools enable significant improvements in performance and power efficiency, making them highly valuable for businesses that require real-time data processing and analysis.

The Merlin Compiler offers a push-button C/C++ to FPGA implementation, optimizing accelerator design, data transfer, and reuse. The Kestrel Runtime acts as a scheduler that optimizes the discovery, deployment, sharing, reprogramming, and scheduling of FPGA and GPU accelerators. These products are designed to cater to clients who need high-performance computing solutions, such as those in the genomics sector for speeding up GATK pipelines, or in finance for real-time fraud detection and derivatives pricing.

Falcon Computing's business model revolves around selling these advanced compile and runtime tools, as well as offering consulting services to help clients integrate these solutions into their existing workflows. The company generates revenue through product sales, licensing, and professional services.
