DescriptionFor the third time in a row, this workshop will bring
together application experts, software developers, and
hardware engineers to share experiences and best
practices leveraging reconfigurable logic in HPC and
“Big Data” applications. In particular, the workshop
will focus on sharing experiences and techniques for
accelerating applications and/or improving energy
efficiency with FPGAs using OpenCL, OpenMP, OpenACC, C,
and C++ based design flows, which enable and improve
cross-platform functional and performance portability.
Particular emphasis is given to cross-platform
comparisons that foster a better understanding within
the industry and research community on what are the best
mappings of applications to a diverse range of hardware
architectures that are available today (e.g., FPGA vs.
GPU vs. Many-cores and hybrid devices), and on how to
most effectively achieve cross-platform
compatibility.
