Resource-aware computing on domain-specific accelerators
Frank Hannig · 2013
The continuous progress in semiconductor technology allows for more and more complex processors architectures. The downside of these technological advances is that computing has hit already a power and complexity wall. These days, energy efficiency has become more important than pure computing power. That means, in order to scale computing performance in the future, systems' energy efficiency has to be significantly improved. The design of heterogeneous hardware with different specialized resources, such as accelerators dedicated for one application domain is a promising solution to address this challenge.
