This paper presents a workflow for synthesizing near-optimal FPGA implementations of structured-mesh based stencil applications for explicit solvers. It leverages key characteristics of the application class and its computation-communication pattern …
Autonomous systems increasingly rely on on-board computation to avoid the latency overheads of offloading to more powerful remote computing. This requires the integration of hardware accelerators to handle the complex computations demanded by …
A Cloud Computing Environment (CCE) leverages the advantages offered by virtualisation to enable virtual machines (VMs) within the same physical machine (PM) to share physical resources. Cloud service providers (CSPs) accommodate the fluctuating …
Abstract—Partial reconfiguration (PR) is fundamental to building adaptive systems on modern FPGA SoCs, where hardware can be adapted dynamically at runtime. Vendor supported reconfiguration is performance limited, drivers entail complex memory …
Coarse-grained FPGA overlays improve design productivity through software-like programmability and fast compilation. However, the effectiveness of overlays as accelerators is dependent on suitable interface and programming integration into a …
FPGA hardware accelerators have recently enjoyed significant attention as platforms for further accelerating computation in the datacenter but they potentially add additional layers of hardware and software interfacing that can further increase …
Transmitting data to cloud datacenters in distributed IoT applications introduces significant communication latency, but is often the only feasible solution when source nodes are computationally limited. To address latency concerns, cloudlets, …
