Truly Parallel Processing and Dramatic Application Speed-Up With SGI RASC Technology

Overview Application specific acceleration using hardware methods is not new to computing or to SGI. Technologies such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) or custom ASICs have been deployed in several HPC application areas. For example, SGI Origin 2000 and 3000 systems tightly integrated MIPS processors along with the SGI Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) which was specifically designed to accelerate applications which require FFT style calculations. The TPU provided approximately forty times (40X) performance improvement. Reconfigurable solutions built upon Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology have been deployed in such industries as manufacturing, government, research and media.
