  • Abstract
    The Novo-G supercomputer´s architecture can adapt to match each application/s unique needs and thereby attain more performance with less energy than conventional machines. Reconfigurable computing can provide solutions for domain scientists at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional servers or supercomputers. As we describe here, the Novo-G machine, applications, research forum, and preliminary results are helping to pave the way for scalable reconfigurable computing.
