HPRCTA 2008

Second International Workshop on High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing Technology and Applications (HPRCTA'08)

Held in conjunction with SC08 Nov. 17, 2008 Austin, TX

High-performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC) based on the combination of conventional microprocessors and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) is a rapidly evolving computing paradigm that offers the potential to accelerate computationally intensive scientific applications beyond what is possible on today's HPC systems. The academic community has been actively investigating this technology for the past decade, and the technology has proven itself to be practical for a number of HPC applications. Many HPC vendors are now offering or are planning to offer various HPRC solutions. The goal of this workshop, co-located with SC08, is to provide a forum for academic researchers and industry to discuss the latest trends and developments in the field, and to set a research agenda for the upcoming years on the use of FPGA technology in high-performance computing.
