David:
- Started to get lost around page 3
- PR = Partial Reconfiguration = uploading new algorithms to FPGA without re-flashing entire board(?)
- I/O virtualization
- Design requires compute resources to be distributed throughout storage resources. (cost/benefit?)
- "... offers users with an illusion of a single and large FPGA, in which they can develop, deploy, and execute applications at large-scale with ease to achieve energy-efficient HPC"
- Does the benefit only come if the data you need to process happens to be spread out over many nodes?
- Motivates distributing data as evenly as possible over storage.
- Energy used to extract data from disk? SSD not a problem. Could be increased energy though if you need to spin up two HDDs as opposed to one.
