Lecture 7

Reconfigurable HPC I - Introduction

Iris Christadler

This lecture introduces Reconfigurable High-Performance Computing. The reason behind the limited numbers of Reconfigurable Computing (RC) systems in HPC is discussed. It shows the fields where RC is mostly used and the lessons that can be learned. Important topics:

• Introduction to RHPC

• Hybrid supercomputers

• Areas in which RC is already used

• Areas in which RC might be beneficial

Participants should have attended Lecture 4, Platforms II - Special Purpose Accelerators, and Lecture 6, Platforms III Programmable Logic, or have equivalent knowledge.
