This article presents a survey of the different modern high-level synthesis (HLS) design
space exploration (DSE) techniques that have been proposed so far to automatically …

Heterogeneous reconfigurable systems provide drastically higher performance and lower
power consumption than traditional CPU-centric systems. Moreover, they do it at much lower …

Profiling can accurately analyze program behavior for select data inputs. We show that
profiling can also predict program locality for inputs other than profiled ones. Here locality is …

This dissertation presents an automated system to generate highly efficient, platform-
adapted implementations of sparse matrix kernels. We show that conventional …

Many applications, such as medical imaging, generate intensive data traffic between the
FPGA and off-chip memory. Significant improvements in the execution time can be achieved …

The increasing complexity of FPGA-based accelerators, coupled with time-to-market
pressure, makes high-level synthesis (HLS) an attractive solution to improve designer …

On modern computer systems, the memory performance of an application depends on its
locality. For a single execution, locality-correlated measures like average miss rate or …

Developed for multimedia and game applications, as well as other numerically intensive
workloads, the CELL processor provides support both for highly parallel codes, which have …

The techniques researched, developed and applied towards the measurement of
radioisotope concentrations at ultra-low levels in the real-time solar neutrino experiment …

Previous research has used program transformation to introduce parallelism and to exploit
data locality. Unfortunately, these two objectives have usually been considered …
