Our paper titled “Software-Managed Automatic Data Sharing for Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Coprocessors” is accepted as an oral presentation in the International Conference on Field Programming Technology (FPT) 2012, which will be held in Seoul, Dec 10~12.
Congratulations to those who participated in this work!
Yes, you read it correctly. It’s a rare combination of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and HW (Hardware) design skills, that is in want.
There is a national and an international competition that is scheduled around October, on FPGA designs that can play the “Connect-6” game. The connect-6 game is a variation of “Five-in-a-Row” (or Omok as is called in Korea), and the trick is that you have to make a hardware in FPGA that can play the game in real-time. The timing constraint is 1 min, and you have to come up with the best solution within the min — otherwise you’ll forfeit your chance to make a move.
*Highlights of this competition
More details can be found in the conference website.
Sounds interesting? Contact the lab. Don’t worry if you don’t have any knowledge/experience with AI or HW design — not expected (but you should be at least a junior majoring in ECE).
Some dynamic elements are added to the front page, which now shows a slideshow instead of a random picture. The slideshow controls are also provided (previous, next, and pause/resume). The previous and next buttons are easy to spot, but where is the pause/resume button?
The answer is the page number.
