A reconfigurable computing architecture for semantic information filtering

The increasing amount of information accessible to a user digitally makes information retrieval & filtering difficult, time consuming and ineffective. New meaning representation techniques proposed in literature help to improve accuracy but increase problem size exponentially. In this paper, we present a novel reconfigurable computing architecture that addresses this issue, outperforms contemporary many-core processors such as Intel´s Single Chip Cloud computer and Nvidia´s GPU´s by ~20x for semantic information filtering. We validate our design using industry standard System-on-chip virtual prototyping and synthesis tools. Such a high performance reconfigurable architecture can form a template for a wide range of content-based and collaborative filtering engines used for big-data analytics.
