On the Feasibility of Optical Circuit Switching for High Performance Computing Systems
Kevin J. Barker,Alan F. Benner,Ray Hoare,Adolfy Hoisie,Alex K. Jones,Darren K. Kerbyson,Dan Li,Rami Melhem,Ramakrishnan Rajamony,Eugen Schenfeld,Shuyi Shao,Craig B. Stunkel,Peter A. Walker +12 more
TL;DR: A potentially cheaper and more power-efficient approach to building high-performance interconnects by proposing a two-network interconnect: An Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) network handling long-lived bulk data transfers, using optical switches; and a secondary lower-bandwidth Electronic Packet switching network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic life cycle assessment: framework and application to an institutional building
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a simplified case study of an institutional building and used a dynamic life cycle assessment (DLCA) approach and illustrates the potential importance of the method using a simplified Case Study of an Institutional Building.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A MATLAB compiler for distributed, heterogeneous, reconfigurable computing systems
Prithviraj Banerjee,N. Shenoy,Alok Choudhary,Scott Hauck,C. Bachmann,Malay Haldar,Pramod G. Joisha,Alex K. Jones,A. Kanhare,Anshuman Nayak,S. Periyacheri,M. Walkden,David Zaretsky +12 more
TL;DR: An experimental prototype of a software system that will take MATLAB descriptions of various applications, and automatically map them on to a distributed computing environment consisting of embedded processors, digital signal processors and field-programmable gale arrays built from commercial off-the-shelf components is implemented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An FPGA-based VLIW processor with custom hardware execution
TL;DR: This paper presents an architecture that combines VLIW (Very Large Instruction Word) processing with the capability to introduce application specific customized instructions and complex hardware functions that allows for an overall speedup of 30X and 12X on average for signal processing benchmarks from the MediaBench.
Journal ArticleDOI
