ABSTRACT
There has recently been renewed interest in the use of acceleration hardware to improve the performance of computationally intensive application components. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), graphic processing units (GPUs), and SIMD arrays are examples of current technologies that can act as accelerators and include the ClearSpeed CSX600 SIMD processor (ClearSpeed, 2005) and the IBM-Toshiba-Sony Cell processor (Kahle et al., 2005). Several large-scale systems using accelerators have been announced
