ABSTRACT
Computing Systems are undergoing a multitude of interesting changes: from the platforms (cloud, appliances) to the workloads, data types, and operations (big data, machine learning). Many of these changes are driven or being tackled through innovation in hardware even to the point of having fully specialized designs for particular applications. In this talk I will review some of the most important changes happening in hardware and discuss how they affect system design as well as the opportunities they create. I will focus on data processing with an emphasis on streams and event based systems but also discuss applications in other areas. I will also briefly discuss how these trends are likely to result in a very different form of IT, and consequently of Computer Science, from the one we know today.

Complete hardware evolution based SoPC for evolvable hardware
First CHE for EH based on the CGP model, and hence, the complete algorithm, including the required memory is realized on the CLB logic of a single FPGA.No other hard/soft resource (microcontroller or Power PC) usage for the implementation.Memory ...
On the Evolution of Hardware Circuits via Reconfigurable Architectures
Traditionally, hardware circuits are realized according to techniques that follow the classical phases of design and testing. A completely new approach in the creation of hardware circuits has been proposed---the Evolvable Hardware (EHW) paradigm, which ...
A hardware/software prototyping system for driving assistance investigations
A holistic design and verification environment to investigate driving assistance systems is presented, with an emphasis on system-on-chip architectures for video applications. Starting with an executable specification of a driving assistance application,...
