Announcements/Reminders • Midterm: • Take home portion (40%) given Friday 10/29, due Tue 11/2 (midnight) • In class portion (60%) Wed 11/3 • Distance students will have in class portion given via a timed WebCT (2 hour) session (take on Wed, Thur or Friday). • Start thinking of class projects and forming teams • Submit teams and project ideas: Mon 10/11 midnight • Project proposal presentations: Fri 10/22 • MP3: PowerPC Coprocessor offload (today): • Problem 2 of HW 2 (released after MP3 gets released)
Initial Project Proposal Slides (5-10 slides) • Project team list: Name, Responsibility (who is project leader) • Team size: 3-4 (5 case-by-case) • Project idea • Motivation (why is this interesting, useful) • What will be the end result • High-level picture of final product • High-level Plan • Break project into mile stones • Provide initial schedule: I would initially schedule aggressively to have project complete by Thanksgiving. Issues will pop up to cause the schedule to slip. • System block diagrams • High-level algorithms (if any) • Concerns • Implementation • Conceptual • Research papers related to you project idea
Projects Ideas: Relevant conferences • Micro • Super Computing • HPCA • IPDPS • FPL • FPT • FCCM • FPGA • DAC • ICCAD • Reconfig • RTSS • RTAS • ISCA

Weekly Project Updates • The current state of your project write up • Even in the early stages of the project you should be able to write a rough draft of the Introduction and Motivation section • The current state of your Final Presentation • Your Initial Project proposal presentation (Due Fri 10/22). Should make for a starting point for you Final presentation • What things are work & not working • What roadblocks are you running into
Projects: Target Timeline • Teams Formed and Idea: Mon 10/11 • Project idea in Power Point 3-5 slides • Motivation (why is this interesting, useful) • What will be the end result • High-level picture of final product • Project team list: Name, Responsibility • High-level Plan/Proposal: Fri 10/22 • Power Point 5-10 slides • System block diagrams • High-level algorithms (if any) • Concerns • Implementation • Conceptual • Related research papers (if any)
Projects: Target Timeline • Work on projects: 10/22 - 12/8 • Weekly update reports • More information on updates will be given • Presentations: Last Wed/Fri of class • Present / Demo what is done at this point • 15-20 minutes (depends on number of projects) • Final write up and Software/Hardware turned in: Day of final (TBD)
Project Grading Breakdown • 50% Final Project Demo • 30% Final Project Report • 30% of your project report grade will come from your 5-6 project updates. Friday’s midnight • 20% Final Project Presentation
Overview • Data Parallel Architectures: • Chapters 5.2.4, and chapter 10 • MP3 Demo/Overview
What you should learn • Data Parallel Architecture basics • Flexibility Reconfigurable Hardware Addes
Next Lecture • Project initial presentations.
Questions/Comments/Concerns • Write down • Main point of lecture • One thing that’s still not quite clear • If everything is clear, then give an example of how to apply something from lecture OR
