synergy between high-performance computing and reconfigurable computing,
based on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) has resulted in a new class
of computer architectures, namely <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>reconfigurable
high-performance computer systems</span></b>. Such systems inherently support
both fine-grain and coarse-grain parallelism, and can potentially tune their
architecture dynamically to fit applications. Advances in this area have
progressed at different levels: clusters with reconfigurable accelerator
boards, stand-alone parallel computers, and distributed reconfigurable
systems. In addition to the very rich body of research work, this direction
has resulted in early reconfigurable supercomputers from some of the traditional
high-performance computing companies. Developments included the Cray XD1, the
SGI Altix/RASC, the SRC 6 family, and the Starbridge Hypercomputer family of
architectures.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
