Novo‐G#: a multidimensional torus‐based reconfigurable cluster for molecular dynamics

“…Even so, at our center we have had much documented success with our FPGA‐centric cluster, Novo‐G , consisting of nearly 400 Stratix II and Stratix IV FPGAs from Altera. Our work so far on application acceleration in bioinformatics , image processing , and financial domains has focused on problems that were challenging to accelerate on a single FPGA but easy to replicate across the cluster. With our recent addition of Stratix V FPGAs, we have extended our Novo‐G infrastructure to target communication‐intensive problems and applications that would benefit from FPGA acceleration.…”

“…Even so, at our center we have had much documented success with our FPGA-centric cluster, Novo-G [9, 10], consisting of nearly 400 Stratix II and Stratix IV FPGAs from Altera. Our work so far on application acceleration in bioinformatics [11][12][13], image processing [14-16], and financial [17] domains has focused on problems that were challenging to accelerate on a single FPGA but easy to replicate across the cluster. With our recent addition of Stratix V FPGAs, we have extended our Novo-G infrastructure to target communication-intensive problems and applications that would benefit from FPGA acceleration.In order to efficiently accelerate communication-intensive apps on reconfigurable hardware, we provide a multidimensional backend network that connects to high-speed transceivers on each Stratix V FPGA, enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency communication among the FPGAs.…”

Portable device for continuous sensing with rapidly pulsed LEDs – Part 1: Rapid on-the-fly processing of large data streams using an open source microcontroller with field programmable gate array

“…FPGA-based devices are especially used in particle 117 colliders for high-energy physics (HEP) [31], gamma 118 radiation spectroscopy, real vision imaging and many other 119 types of reconfigurable high performance virtual 120 instrumentation [32]. Although FPGA based devices offer 121 real-time data handling capability of large data without any 122 lag, other than in the fields of nanosecond pulse generation 123 [33], computational chemistry [34] and simulated mass 124 spectroscopy (MS) [35], the application of a µC system with 125 FPGA in analytical chemistry to the best of authors' 126 knowledge, has not been presented in the analytical 127 literature.…”
