Outline of Final Research Achievements

An objective of this research aims to develop an energy-efficient and high-performance computer system for bigdata applications which convert massive amount of data to high-quality information. An FPGA-based accelerator couples storage, network and the main memory accelerates such applications to overwrap computation and transmission. We confirmed that the PC-cluster with accelerators overcomes software-based implementation over dozens of time by basic database operations and biological computation.
