On March 25^th, 2022 at 1.00 pm "Architectural Templates for Spatial Accelerators", a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk, will be held online via Facebook by Francesco Peverelli, DEIB PhD student, Politecnico di Milano.

Spatial architectures aim to address the limitations of traditional Von-Neumann architectures, namely data movement bottlenecks and inefficient use of hardware, by instantiating spatially-distributed processing and memory elements. The main drawbacks that have prevented spatial architecture from reaching widespread adoption in the high-performance computing domain are the prohibitive design cost and limited longevity, a consequence of specialization. This talk explores the design of multi-domain spatial architectures, in particular, it will outline a design methodology based on the ‘architectural template’ abstraction, which aims to offer a reliable way to design flexible spatial architectures reaching competitive performance on a set of pre-determined application domains.

The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.

Every week, the “NECSTFridayTalk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.
