Looking Ahead at Heterogeneous Systems: A Suppliers Perspective.
Jon Huppenthal
President and Chief Executive Officer, SRC Computers, LLC
Co-Founder (with Late Seymour Cray)
Abstract:
In light of current processor chip architectures driving towards many-core and graphics, is there still a viable place for FPGA based computation? How much of the current information is hype and how much is doom for reconfigurable processing? Customers have concerns surrounding adoption of computer systems containing FPGAs related to difficulty of use, programmability, supplier longevity and price. At the same time traditional compute solutions raise customer’s concerns over multi-language support, product life cycles, power consumption and real system level performance.
This paper will present a system providers perspective on these topics as well as what the net outcome is moving forward and what technology should be offered.
