Abstract:

In this talk, Prof. Markus Weinhardt will present the results of several research
projects conducted at different institutions.
In the first project (at KIT and Imperial College), the “Pipeline
Vectorization” compilation method for FPGAs was developed. The second
project (at PACT XPP Technologies) extended this method for
Coarse-Grain Reconfigurable Architectures. The PACT XPP-III processor is
also presented. The third project (at Osnabrueck UAS) deals with FPGA
Acceleration for Streaming Applications.

Bio
