| Abstract: |
Domain-specific accelerators (DSAs), which sacrifice programmability for efficiency, are a reaction to the waning benefits of device scaling. This article demonstrates that there are commonalities between DSAs that can be exploited with programmable mechanisms. The goals are to create a programmable architecture that can match the benefits of a DSA and to create a platform for future accelerator investigations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
