This year's Reconfigurable Systems Summer Institute will share the latest developments in reconfigurable systems that have the potential to dramatically speed computing and spur scientific discovery. According to Allan Cantle, CEO of Nallatech, "It is great to see the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and the Ohio Supercomputing Center promoting the benefits of FPGA-based computing to the high-performance computing community. Reconfigurable technology has made significant inroads in the embedded computing market and Nallatech and others are starting to show how this technology can significantly benefit the more software-centric high-performance computing industry." Nallatech is a long-time supporter of the FPGA computing community, with membership on the steering committee for the OpenFPGA Forum, as well as co-founders of the FPGA High Performance Computing Alliance. Who: Allan Cantle, CEO, Nallatech to present: "Is it Time for Von Neumann and Harvard to Retire?" What: Reconfigurable Systems Summer Institute (RSSI) industry presentation.
