BOF at SC12:  Reconfigurable Supercomputing
               Tuesday, Nov. 13, 5:30-7pm, Room 255-D  

With conventional HPC, each application must be parallelized and mapped 
to match the predefined fixed-logic architectures of the CPU or GPU 
devices targeted, in terms of data and operation types as well as depth 
and breadth of parallelism.  In many science domains, such as 
bioinformatics, cryptology, finance, signal and image processing, and 
more, this mapping is often highly inefficient.  By contrast, with 
high-performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC), the hardware 
architecture can adapt to match the unique needs of each application, 
often leading to dramatically higher speedups and energy savings.  This 
BOF will feature an assortment of industry and academic leaders 
highlighting the wealth of recent technology innovations in HPRC.
