SCHEDULE: NOV 10-16, 2007

First International Workshop on High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing Technology and Applications (HPRCTA'07)

Session: Reconfigurable Computing

Event Type: Workshop

Time: 8:30am - 5:00pm

Organizer(s): Volodymyr Kindratenko, Tarek El-Ghazawi, Duncan Buell, Kris Gaj, Eric Stahlberg, Alan D. George, Martin Herbordt, Olaf Storaasli

Location: A8

Abstract:
High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (HPRC) based on the combination of conventional microprocessors and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) is a new and rapidly evolving computing paradigm that offers a potential to accelerate computationally intensive scientific applications beyond of what is possible on today's mainstream HPC systems. The academic community has been actively investigating this technology for the past several years and the technology has proven itself to be practical for a number of HPC applications. Many of the HPC vendors are now offering or are planning to offer various HPRC solutions. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic researchers and industry to discuss the latest trends and developments in the field, and to set a research agenda for the upcoming years on the use of field-programmable gate array technology in high performance computing.
