THE EXPERTISE APPROACH AND SKILL ACQUISITION Research on expertise is by definition focused on a restricted sample of individuals. Experts are people who consistently produce outstanding performance in their domains (Ericsson, 2006) and as such are without exception located on the positive side of the skill distribution. The usual approach in the study of expertise is to compare the extreme gro...

A new FPGA architecture (reconfigurable datapath architecture, rDPA) for word-oriented datapaths is presented, which has been developed to support a variety of Xputer architectures. In contrast to von Neumann machines an Xputer architecture strongly supports the concept of the “soft ALU” (reconfigurable ALU). Fine grained parallelism is achieved by using simple reconfigurable processing element...

allel with computation. This optimization can be done only when permissible under data dependency constraints, but has significant potential for blocked linear algebra codes. 8 Summary and Conclusions We believe that this paper has described a promising direction in automatic generation of efficient parallel implementations of linear algebra programs. This new direction is made possible by rece...
