InAccel was a technology start-up company founded in 2018 by Christoforos (Chris) Kachris, Elias Koromilas, and Ioannis Stamelos. The company was specialized in FPGA application acceleration and developed frameworks that enabled easy deployment, scaling and resource management of FPGA workloads on cloud and on-premises environments.
Overview
InAccel provided a comprehensive framework for deploying FPGA accelerators across environments including Docker, Podman, Singularity, and Kubernetes. Its platform included accelerator IP cores, resource management tools, and high-level APIs, allowing developers to integrate FPGA acceleration into applications such as Apache Spark and Jupyter with minimal or no code changes.[1][2]
Technology
InAccel developed accelerators as IP cores (bitstreams) compatible with major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS F1 instances) and Alibaba Cloud.[1] The company’s Coral framework included the Coral Resource Manager and Coral Monitor, designed to simplify deployment and monitoring of FPGA workloads.[3]
Partnerships
InAccel partnered with AWS, Xilinx, and Intel Cloud to deliver FPGA acceleration as a service.[1][4]
Its research contributions included publications on FPGA acceleration for big data frameworks, such as the 2018 paper *Seamless FPGA Deployment over Spark in Cloud Computing*.[5]
Funding and Acquisition
The company received seed funding from Marathon Venture Capital.[6] In 2023, InAccel's technology was acquired (exclusive license) by a US public semiconductor company.
Recognition
InAccel received the Venture Impact Award 2021, organized by The Hellenic Initiative and supported by The Helidoni Foundation, the Charles C. Condes Trust, and others, in recognition of its technological and entrepreneurial achievements.[7]
