Recent work in reconfigurable computing research has shown that a substantial performance speedup can be achieved through architectures that map the most relevant application inner-loops to a reconfigurable datapath. Any solution to this problem must be able to synthesize a datapath for each loop and to merge them together into a single reconfigurable datapath. the main contribution of this paper is a novel graph-based technique for the datapath merge problem. this approach is based on the solution of a maximum clique problem that merges datapaths one at a time. A set of experiments, using the MediaBench benchmark, shows that the proposed technique produces 24% fewer datapath interconnections than a previous solution to this problem.

We describe how it is possible for a group of hospitals to implement both distributed and integrated electronic patient encounters withhighperformance and availability. We also describe how it is possible in such a system to implement approximated ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability) properties by using the countermeasure transaction model. this is used to implement recovery, and approximated concurrency control.

Current data management solutions are optimized for intra-enterprise, client-server applications. they depend on predictability, predefined structure, and universal administrative control, and cannot easily cope with change and lack of structure. However, modern e-commerce applications are dynamic, unpredictable, organic, and decentralized, and require adaptability. eXtensible Data Management (XDM) is a new approach that enables rapid development and deployment of networked, data-intensive services by providing semantically-rich, high-performance middle-tier data management, and allows heterogeneous data front different sources to be accessed in a uniform manner. Here, we discuss how middle tier extensible data management can benefit an enterprise, and present technical details and examples from the Index Fabric, an XDM engine we have implemented.

Software pipelining and unfolding are commonly used techniques to increase parallelism for DSP applications. However, these techniques expand the code size of the application significantly. For most DSP systems with limited memory resources, code size becomes one of the most critical concerns for the high-performance applications. In this paper, we present the code size reduction theory based on retiming and unfolding concepts. We propose a code size reduction framework to achieve the optimal code size of software-pipelined and unfolded loops by using conditional registers. the experimental results on several well-know benchmarks show the effectiveness of our code size reduction technique in controlling the code size of optimized loops.
