About
I currently work at the Reconfigurable Computing Laboratory at Iowa State University, where I research ways to accelerate applications with FPGAs. Applications I have designed accelerators for include exact DNA alignment, sequential belief propagation, sparse matrix vector multiplication and k nearest neighbors.
FPGAs are the chameleons of the chip world. To accelerate an application I create a processor design. Electronic design tools then turn this processor design into a schematic the FPGA can read and then emulate the processor. From my view, I now have the processor I want. (Although it's a bit slower than a processor made in a ASIC Fab.)
