Yvon Savaria 教授

报告摘要： After a brief summary of the Canadian Microelectronics research ecosystem, his presentation will explore the needs and benefits that hardware accelerators can bring to electronics systems. Principle of hardware acceleration will be reviewed. Several illustrative examples based on his recent research will be covered.  The applications of interest generally relate to network and telecommunication applications. Recent developments on heterogeneous platforms will be covered. The specific applications that will be covered include network traffic management, address lookup, Bloom filters, scheduling, polar code decoding, and sparse code multiple access for 5G.
