The Future is Heterogenous Systems

Read a very good article on Communications of ACM's August 2011 issue. It is titled Computing Without Processors by Satnam Singh of Microsoft Research.

What is the future? Is it multi core CPUs or alternative computing elements such as general purpose GPU or FPGAs?

  1. Multi-core processors: Good for large coarse grained tasks
  2. GPUs: Suitable for thousands of fine-grained data-parallel computations
  3. FPGAs: Good for Irregular fine-grained tasks with extreme requirements for performance or low energy consumption.


The future is heterogeneous system, which is a combination of all these. The possible deployment of such systems is in the cloud.

    kind of quality information that one can be proud
    to call news, and if it ever goes completely
    out of style, may the Lord help us, for it will be the
    end of civilization as we know it. " Earlier today some cruise ship struck land in Alaska. If a person is connected with the latest headlines, it will develop an awareness in him with regards to the world which surrounds him.

  13. The news which is telecasting all the information from all the sides of the world is called
    as world news. I also have to wonder if the evening news
    shows are more interested in ratings or in reporting the real
    news. Above all the Hindi news websites is a real
    boom for the world.
