Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) present an appealing hardware platform by providing programmability with the potential for high computation throughput, scalab...
Modern embedded systems often require high degrees of instruction-level parallelism (ILP) within strict constraints on power consumption and chip cost. Unfortunately, a high-perfo...
Since 1993 we compile and publish twice a year a list of the mostpowerful supercomputers in the world. In this article we compare the situation of High-Performance Computing (HPC)...
