##### History
|
||||
|
||||
Milkymist was founded in summer 2007 by Sébastien Bourdeauducq. The open source project tackled the development of a system-on-chip design capable of running MilkDrop. The name "Milkymist" was chosen to evoke a parallel MilkDrop. The development was no small task, as it required designing and/or integrating a powerful 32-bit microprocessor core, basic peripherals, many interfaces, a fast SDRAM controller, and graphics acceleration. The video synthesizer born out of those efforts, the <a href="/gateware/m1/">Milkymist One</a>, was launched in September 2011 with the help of open hardware company Sharism at Work.

In the summer of 2007, Sébastien Bourdeauducq, while a student at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sup%C3%A9lec">Supélec</a>, founded an open source project that tackled the development of a system-on-chip capable of running the GPU-accelerated music visualizer <a href="http://www.geisswerks.com/milkdrop/">MilkDrop</a>. The name "Milkymist" was chosen to evoke a parallel MilkDrop - as digital hardware is inherently parallel. The development was no small task, as it required designing and/or integrating a powerful 32-bit microprocessor core, basic peripherals, many interfaces, a fast SDRAM controller, and fairly advanced graphics acceleration. The video synthesizer born out of those efforts, the <a href="/gateware/m1/">Milkymist One</a>, was launched in September 2011 with the help of the open hardware company Sharism at Work. As of April 2021, the Milkymist system-on-chip (SoC) remains the most advanced open source implementation of a SoC with graphics acceleration.

Components of the Milkymist system-on-chip soon found many other uses, such as <a href="/images/jpl_letter.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">software-defined radio</a> on board the International Space Station. The community grew and activities diversified, with the development of a <a href="http://www.ohwr.org/projects/tdc-core/wiki" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TDC core</a> for CERN (using a variant of the Milkymist SoC for integration), the <a href="/gateware/migen/">Migen</a> logic design system and its application to the Rhino software-defined radio platform, and the <a href="/other/mixxeo">Mixxeo</a> digital video mixer. In 2013, Milkymist was renamed to M-Labs to mark the more varied activities, and formally incorporated in Hong Kong as M-Labs Limited.

The company's current main project is <a href="/experiment-control/artiq/">ARTIQ</a>, a leading-edge open source control system for quantum information experiments. In 2016, Robert Jördens joined the directorate of the company to further develop ARTIQ and other physics-related projects.

Since 2014, the company's main project is <a href="/experiment-control/artiq/">ARTIQ</a>, a leading-edge open source control system for quantum information experiments. In 2016, Robert Jördens joined the directorate of the company to further develop ARTIQ and other physics-related projects. Commercial hardware developed specifically for ARTIQ, codenamed Sinara, started appearing in 2017.
|
||||
|
||||
Over 200 major quantum physics experiments have been relying on ARTIQ as their main control and data acquisition system.
