Reconfigurable supercomputing

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

Seems a neologism from about six years ago. Not even a single source, let alone any assertion of notability. Author inactive after only two days of editing. Topics seem to be sourced at least a little in High-performance reconfigurable computing and Reconfigurable computing.

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it.

This message has remained in place for seven days, so the article may be deleted without further notice.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.

Reconfigurable Supercomputing is a new direction in Supercomputing, where Reconfigurable Computing methods are adopted by supercomputer architectures, such as those based on FPGAs. From FPGA usage as accelerators, speed-up factors by up to two orders of magnitude are reported. Algorithmic cleverness is the secret of success, based on software to configware migration mechanisms, striving away from memory-cycle-hungry instruction-stream-based computing paradigms also using memory-cycle-hungry data movement methods. A new kind operating system modules as well as new compilation techniques are needed to ease usage.

A main hurdle on the way to new horizons of cheap highest performance are CS-related educational deficits causing the configware / software chasm and a methodology fragmentation between the different cultures of application domains. New directions in CS-related curricula are needed which are focused on a dual paradigm approach (instruction-stream-based and data-stream-based).
