The science of spectroscopy has existed for more than three centuries, and imaging
spectroscopy for the Earth system for three decades. We first discuss the historical …

Escalating system-on-chip design complexity is pushing the design community to raise the
level of abstraction beyond register transfer level. Despite the unsuccessful adoptions of …

This paper describes a heterogeneous computer cluster called Axel. Axel contains a
collection of nodes; each node can include multiple types of accelerators such as FPGAs …

FPGAs have been used in many applications to achieve orders-of-magnitude improvement
in absolute performance and energy efficiency relative to conventional microprocessors …

As an entry for the 2009 Gordon Bell price/performance prize, we present the results of two
different hierarchical N-body simulations on a cluster of 256 graphics processing units …

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) inherent reconfigurable nature and their low
power consumption have made them so complementary to microprocessors that many are …

Software libraries provide leverage largely because they are used by many applications. As
Parnas (1972, 1979), Lampson (1984) and others have noted, stable interfaces to libraries …

Computing performance and scalability are essential ingredients in modern data centres
offering cloud services. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide a promising …

This study treats architecture and implementation of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
accelerator for double-precision floating-point matrix multiplication. The architecture is …

Hyperspectral remote sensing attempts to identify features in the surface of the Earth using
sensors that generally provide large amounts of data. The data are usually collected by a …
