Big data analytic applications give rise to large-scale extract-transform-load (ETL) as a
fundamental step to transform new data into a native representation. ETL workloads pose …

In this brief, a hybrid-grained reconfigurable architecture (HReA) is introduced to process 13-
Dwarfs. The proposed dynamically reconfigurable fabric consists of four 4× 4 multi-functional …

With CPU performance scaling having decelerated significantly with the end of frequency
scaling due to the power ceiling the industry has started to look into alternative accelerators …

The dramatic increase in computer performance has been extraordinary, but not for all
computations: it has key limits and structure. Software architects, developers, and even data …

Architectural innovation has telescoped the HPC community from the commodity (Beowulf)
cluster in a machine room, ie, a multi-node system with Ethernet interconnect, to a …

The proliferation of a diverse set of heterogeneous computing platforms in conjunction with
the plethora of programming languages and optimization techniques on each language for …

New sources of “big data” such as the Internet, mobile applications, data-driven science and
large-scale sensors (IoT) are driving the demand for growing computing performance. The …
