.:: AC2SWA - Adaptive Computing to SW Acceleration:
it is common to consider HW components as fast but not flexible while SW solutions as flexible but slow. Since the introduction of reconfigurable hardware platforms, such as the FPGAs, the HW domain has moved into the SW domain; the possibility of implementing a reconfigurable HW architecture has increased the flexibility of the HW therefore we'd like to show that with an alternative description, we can also move the SW domain into the HW due to a faster computation.

.:: Nomad:
In this project we consider multi-FPGAs, reconfiguration and system description portability as the processes of specifying and modeling a complete system before it is partitioned and committed to a style/flow of implementation. In the case of a high performance computing cluster employing FPGAs, the reconfigurable elements need to be dynamically re-allocated and reconfigured based on the prevailing workload at a given instance. We particularly target fast configuration and task migration in high performance computing systems, such as server farms.
