Teams – All in One

Future Computing with Rogues Gallery

Goals

Computing is changing -energy constraints and performance bottlenecks create new opportunities for unique and novel hardware designs. However, these new systems require new approaches for application development, management, and visualization. Our main goal for this project is to help interface new “post-Moore” hardware like neuromorphic field-programmable analog arrays (FPAAs), memory-centric architectures like the Emu Chick, and tightly coupled FPGAs with current software technologies. We aim to develop easy-to-use software demonstrations and examples for each new piece of hardware in the Rogues Gallery testbed and to design strategies to extend the hardware for interesting research problems and class projects.

Issues Involved or Addressed

Extremely heterogeneous systems management, neuromorphic and analog design, software tools for novel hardware, processing of sensitive / encrypted data.

Partners/Sponsors
