Verification and testing of hardware heavily relies on cycle-accurate simulation of RTL. As single-processor performance is growing only slowly, conventional, single-threaded RTL simulation is becoming impractical for increasingly complex chip designs and ...

The demise of Moore's Law and Dennard scaling has resulted in diminishing performance gains for general-purpose processors, and so has prompted a surge in academic and commercial interest for hardware accelerators. Specialized hardware has already redefine ...

The demise of Moore's Law and Dennard Scaling has revived interest in specialized computer architectures and accelerators. Verification and testing of this hardware depend heavily upon cycle-accurate simulation of register-transfer-level (RTL) designs. The ...

Key-Value Stores (KVS) are foundational infrastructure components for online services. Due to their latency-critical nature, today’s best-performing KVS contain a plethora of full-stack optimizations commonly targeting read-mostly, popularity-skewed worklo ...

Modern hardware is increasingly complex, requiring increasing effort to understand in order to carefully engineer systems for optimal performance and effective utilization. Moreover, established design principles and assumptions are not portable to modern ...

We identified that in modern commercial FPGAs, routing signals from the general interconnect to the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) through a very sparse input interconnect block (IIB) represents a significant runtime bottleneck. This is despite academic ...

Today's continued increase in demand for processing power, despite the slowdown of Moore's law, has led to an increase in processor count, which has resulted in energy consumption and distribution problems. To address this, there is a growing trend toward ...

The hardware complexity of modern machines makes the design of adequate programming models crucial for jointly ensuring performance, portability, and productivity in high-performance computing (HPC). Sequential task-based programming models paired with adv ...

Recent GPU architectures make available numbers of parallel processing units that exceed by orders of magnitude the ones offered by CPU architectures. Whereas programs written using dataflow programming languages are well suited for programming heterogeneo ...

Database systems access memory either sequentially or randomly. Contrary to sequential access and despite the extensive efforts of computer architects, compiler writers, and system builders, random access to data larger than the processor cache has been s ...

Utilization of edge devices has exploded in the last decade, with such use cases as wearable devices, autonomous driving, and smart homes. As their ubiquity grows, so do expectations of their capabilities. Simultaneously, their formfactor and use cases lim ...

Modern application development addresses increasingly specialized problems using domain-specific utilities, such as Optical Code Recognition and standalone statistical tools. The diversity of tooling, combined with the ever-growing volume of data, requires ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools typically generate statically scheduled datapaths. Static scheduling implies that the resulting circuits have a hard time exploiting parallelism in code with potential memory dependences, with control dependences, or where ...

Exposing parallelism in scientific applications has become a core requirement for efficiently running on modern distributed multicore SIMD compute architectures. The granularity of parallelism that can be attained is a key determinant for the achievable ac ...

As hardware evolves, so do the needs of applications. To increase the performance of an application, there exist two well-known approaches. These are scaling up an application, using a larger multi-core platform, or scaling out, by distributing work to mul ...

FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) are an attractive technology for high-speed data processing in space missions due to their unbeatable flexibility and best performance-to-power ratio in comparison to software. However FPGAs suffer from 3 major drawbac ...

This paper describes a deterministic and parallel implementation of the VPR routability-driven router for FPGAs. We considered two parallefization strategies: (1) routing multiple nets in parallel; and (2) routing one net at a time, while parallelizing the ...

Ultrafast ultrasound (US) imaging uses unfocused waves to insonify the whole medium of interest at once, allowing pulse-echo US imaging to achieve very high frame rates, at the cost of a lower image quality. In this paper, we present USSR, an UltraSound Sp ...

The expeditious proliferation of Internet connectivity and the growing adoption of digital products have transformed various spheres of our everyday lives. This increased digitization of society has led to the emergence of new applications, which are deplo ...

Personalized healthcare devices enable low-cost, unobtrusive and long-term acquisition of clinically-relevant biosignals. These appliances, termed Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs), are fostering a revolution in health monitoring for patients affected by ...
