HPPC 2009: 3rd Workshop on Highly Parallel Processing on a Chip

Abstract

To counter the relative decline in traditional, single-processor performance, architectures with significant on-chip parallelism for special and general-purpose computation have been marketed in the past few years with various degrees of success. Although the shift toward (general-purpose) parallel processing is inevitable and generally accepted, the road to travel is still essentially unclear - perhaps even unknown, as witnessed by the many different architectural proposals and products by both large and smaller vendors, the usual hype, as well as research projects in many different directions. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
