Morphware and Configware
This chapter introduces morphware as the basis of a second machine paradigm, which mainly has been introduced by the discipline of embedded system design targeting the System on Chip (SoC). But more recently SoC design is adopting more and more computer science mentality and also needs the services of CS professionals. Computing Sciences are going to include the morphware paradigm in its intell...
متن کاملFrom Organic Computing to Reconfigurable Supercomputing
Google’s yaw-dropping hit rates illustrate the pervasiveness of Reconfigurable Computing (RC), mainstream in embedded systems already for years, and now being adopted by supercomputing (Cray, sgi, etc.). From FPGA usage as accelerators, speed-up factors by up to two orders of magnitude are reported, as well as floor space requirements and electricity invoice amounts reduced by one order of magn...
متن کاملOn Implementing a Configware/Software SAT Solver
This paper presents an implementation of the configware/software SAT solver proposed in FCCM'O1 [11. This is the first actually implemented hardware accelerated solver that can dispense with instance-specific compilation, and is capable of handling SAT formulas of virtually any size.
متن کاملSolving SAT with a Context-Switching Virtual Clause Pipeline and an FPGA Embedded Processor
This paper proposes an architecture that combines a contextswitching virtual configware/software SAT solver with an embedded processor to promote a tighter coupling between configware and software. The virtual circuit is an arbitrarily large clause pipeline, partitioned into sections of a number of stages (hardware pages), which can fit in the configware. The hardware performs logical implicati...
متن کاملThe grammaticization of going to in (African American) English
Focusing on the process of grammaticization, whereby items with lexical meaning evolve into grammatical markers, this article examines the future temporal reference sectors of three diaspora varieties of African American English which have evolved in linguistic isolates and compares them with those of British-origin rural and mainstream varieties of English. With one exception, the same constra...
