Are FPGAs a Disruptive Technology for HPC?

HPCwire, February 24, 2006

 

HPC is always keen to exploit innovation if it provides real performance gains, but are FPGAs the next disruptive technology to deliver for HPC? 

Reconfigurable Processing Design Suits UAV Radar Apps

UAV-based radar electronics require supercomputing performance in a compact space. A reconfigurable computer architecture offers the compute density to fit the bill.

COTS Journal, October/November 2005

 

Engineers at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and SRC Computers demonstrate the performance gain of a two-dimensional Synthetic Aperture Radar (2-D SAR) backprojection algorithm running on SRC’s Compact MAP™ processor architecture compared to a MATLAB and C implementation of the algorithm.

SRC Code; 'Tis a Far, Far Better Compiler

FPGA & Programmable Logic Journal, July 2005

 

The author examines researchers and engineers from two distinct camps with distinct goals attacking the same technical challenge from two different directions. The two camps meet at the FPGA.

Application Defined Processors

Linux Journal, December 2004

 

This article explains RC, examines SRC systems that implement RC, and shows the performance advantage RC provides over traditional microprocessors.

High-Flying Computer Processing

Homeland Science & Technology Journal, November 2004

 

SRC has been awarded a development contract by the AFRL that addresses a long-standing challenge of creating a powerful miniaturized computer system for use on-board UAVs. The resulting mobile computer is expected to perform 96 Gflops with more than 6 Gbytes/s of direct sensor I/O bandwidth in a single computer weighing as little as 10 pounds.
