High-Performance Computing using FPGA covers the area of high performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC). This book provides an overview of architectures, tools and applications for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (HPRC). FPGAs offer very high I/O bandwidth and fine-grained, custom and flexible parallelism and with the ever-increasing computational needs coupled with the frequency/power wall, the increasing maturity and capabilities of FPGAs, and the advent of multicore processors which has caused the acceptance of parallel computational models. The Part on architectures will introduce different FPGA-based HPC platforms: attached co-processor HPRC architectures such as the CHREC’s Novo-G and EPCC’s Maxwell systems; tightly coupled HRPC architectures, e.g. the Convey hybrid-core computer; reconfigurably networked HPRC architectures, e.g. the QPACE system, and standalone HPRC architectures such as EPFL’s CONFETTI system. The Part on Tools will focus on high-level programming approaches for HPRC, with chapters on C-to-Gate tools (such as Impulse-C, AutoESL, Handel-C, MORA-C++); Graphical tools (MATLAB-Simulink, NI LabVIEW); Domain-specific languages, languages for heterogeneous computing(for example OpenCL, Microsoft’s Kiwi and Alchemy projects). The part on Applications will present case from several application domains where HPRC has been used successfully, such as Bioinformatics and Computational Biology; Financial Computing; Stencil computations; Information retrieval; Lattice QCD; Astrophysics simulations; Weather and climate modeling. |

Accounting Best Practices (Wiley Best Practices)
The accounting department is a cost center. It does not directly generate revenues, but, rather, provides a fi xed set of services to the rest of the company, and is asked to do so at the lowest possible cost. Consequently, the accounting staff is called on to process transactions, write reports, create new processes, or investigate old... | | Molecular Basis of Thyroid Cancer (Cancer Treatment and Research)
Thyroid cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S., especially among women.
Given the relative success we have had in its treatment, there is a need to capitalize
on it by better understanding the factors that underpin this malignancy, and exploring
better strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. To do so, we must... | | |
Microsoft XNA 4.0 Game Development Cookbook
The Microsoft XNA 4.0 Game Development Cookbook is all about what happens once
you've completed the various introductory tutorials, and want to create something with
a little more substance.
In this book, you'll find examples of how to flesh out some of the more complex, or initially
less intuitive, pieces... | | | | |
