A one-of-a-kind survey of the field of Reconfigurable Computing Gives a comprehensive
introduction to a discipline that offers a 10X-100X acceleration of algorithms over …

Background Dogs and rats have a highly developed capability to detect and identify odorant
molecules, even at minute concentrations. Previous analyses have shown that the olfactory …

Environmental microorganisms are emerging as an important source of new enzymes for
wide-scale industrial application. In this study, novel phytase genes were identified from a …

We propose a new parallelization scheme for the hmmsearch function of the HMMER
software, in order to target FPGA technology. hmmsearch is a very compute intensive …

Reconfigurable systems, exploiting a mixture of the traditional CPU-centric instruction-
stream-based processing with the decentralized parallel application-specific data …

Background Female endoparasitic ichneumonid wasps inject virus-like particles into their
caterpillar hosts to suppress immunity. These particles are classified as ichnovirus virions …

Because of the growing use of multimedia content over Internet, content-based image
retrieval (CBIR) has recently received a lot of interest. While accurate search techniques …

The eukaryotic transposon Mos1 is a class-II transposable element that moves using a “cut-
and-paste” mechanism in which the transposase is the only protein factor required. The …

We study the performance and energy characteristics of a reconfigurable active solid-state
drive (RASSD) consisting of a tightly-coupled FPGA/SSD pair. The FPGA implements a …

With ever larger and more affordable storage capabilities, individuals and companies can
now collect huge amounts of multimedia data, especially images. Searching such databases …
