As the amount of data and the complexity of the processing rise, the demand for processing
power in remote sensing applications is increasing. The processing speed is a critical …

Project ExaStencils pursues a radically new approach to stencil-code engineering. Present-
day stencil codes are implemented in general-purpose programming languages, such as …

Due to advances in semiconductor techniques, many-core processors have been widely
used in high performance computing. However, many applications still cannot be carried out …

Modern systems-on-chip (SoCs) today contain hundreds of cores, and this number is
predicted to reach the thousands by the year 2020. As the number of communicating …

Optimization algorithms are becoming increasingly more important in many areas, such as
finance and engineering. Typically, real problems involve several hundreds of variables …

Network-on-chip (NoC) designs are based on a compromise among latency, power
dissipation, or energy, and the balance is usually defined at design time. However, setting …

Embedded real-time algorithms are often realized with dedicated hardware, exhibiting high
production costs and low programming flexibility thereafter. For instance, semi-global …

On-chip thermal management is quintessential to a thermally safe operation of a many-core
processor. The presence of a physically distributed logically shared Last-Level Cache (LLC) …
