TLDR
The machine itself - Maxwell - its hardware and software environment is described and very early benchmark results from runs of the demonstrators are presented.Abstract:
We present the initial results from the FHPCA Supercomputer project at the University of Edinburgh. The project has successfully built a general-purpose 64 FPGA computer and ported to it three demonstration applications from the oil, medical and finance sectors. This paper describes in brief the machine itself - Maxwell - its hardware and software environment and presents very early benchmark results from runs of the demonstrators.read more

Convex models for accelerating applications on FPGA-based clusters
TL;DR: This work proposes a new approach, based on a set of convex models, to accelerate an application using a computing cluster which contains field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and formulate the design problem as a convex non-linear optimization problem allowing design exploration.
Algorithms and Computer Architectures for Evolutionary Bioinformatics
TL;DR: This dissertation presents new reconfigurable architectures to accelerate parsimony- and likelihood-based phylogenetic tree reconstruction, as well as effective techniques to speed up the execution of a phylogeny-aware alignment kernel on general-purpose graphics processing units.
High performance reconfigurable computing with cellular automata
TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.

The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities
Fischer Black,Myron S. Scholes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical valuation formula for options is derived, based on the assumption that options are correctly priced in the market and it should not be possible to make sure profits by creating portfolios of long and short positions in options and their underlying stocks.

Controlled-source electromagnetic imaging on the Nuggets-1 reservoir
TL;DR: The marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) sounding method is rapidly gaining acceptance as an exploration tool for detecting and delineating hydrocarbon reservoirs as discussed by the authors, however, distinguishing hydrocarbon fluids from water within these structures is more problematic.
