Arctic Region Supercomputing Center to hold reconfigurable computing conference

released July 26, 2005

The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center will host a symposium and workshop on high-performance reconfigurable computing from Aug. 22 to Aug. 24.

The symposium will evaluate the real technology readiness level given the applications of interest. The sustained capabilities of such machines will be examined and compared to conventional high-performance computers. Federal agency and academic center applications will be assessed for performance enhancement from hardware reconfiguration and hardware execution.

This symposium will provide a forum for leaders and application developers from the high-performance reconfigurable computing industry, research centers, and federal agencies to address these questions through a series of talks, which will be followed by open discussions. The symposium will address these questions from the perspectives of applications, programmability, operating systems, architectures, and tools.
