This award establishes Brigham Young University (BYU) as a research site of the Industry/University Collaborative Research Center (IUCRC) for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing. Other sites of this collaborative research center include the University of Florida (2007) and George Washington University (2007). Reconfigurable computing (RC) technology can be divided into two areas of use: High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC). RC technology is used in the field of HPC to accelerate demanding computations that would otherwise be performed in software on a large-scale computing system. RC technology is used in HPEC to create high-performance embedded computing solutions in areas such as signal and image processing, real-time vision, cryptography, and network processing. The mission of this center is to investigate, develop, and evaluate new concepts, methods, infrastructure, and tools in reconfigurable HPC and HPEC, from building-block devices to infrastructure to applications, and advance these technologies through research and education for the benefit of center members, students, and the discipline at large. The research BYU will address; 1) Novel Core Architectures and Related Components for Aerospace & Defense Applications, 2) Application Mapping of HPC Codes to High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing Systems, 3) Profiling, Analysis, & Performance Optimization for Reconfigurable Computing Applications, 4) Middleware, Interfaces, & other Infrastructure for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computers. The Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing should significantly enhance the U.S. effort to maintain a strong leadership position within their area of information technology. It may also serve to bring industry and users together to define common standards. Industry members, researchers and students will gain from the interactions throughout the life of the research center. This should be a rewarding experience for all as the university has a detailed plan to achieve diversity in working with several minority institutions. Advances in RC affect virtually all disciplines of science and engineering which require high-performance computing, be it mainframe-oriented or embedded. RC technology promises to produce computing systems combining the flexibility of software-programmable computations with the computational power of custom hardware.

该奖项使杨百翰大学 (BYU) 成为工业/大学合作研究中心 (IUCRC) 高性能可重构计算的研究基地。该合作研究中心的其他地点包括佛罗里达大学（2007 年）和乔治华盛顿大学（2007 年）。可重构计算（RC）技术可分为两个使用领域：高性能计算（HPC）和高性能嵌入式计算（HPEC）。 RC 技术用于 HPC 领域，以加速原本需要在大型计算系统上的软件中执行的高要求计算。 HPEC 使用 RC 技术在信号和图像处理、实时视觉、密码学和网络处理等领域创建高性能嵌入式计算解决方案。该中心的使命是研究、开发和评估可重构 HPC 和 HPEC 中的新概念、方法、基础设施和工具，从构建块设备到基础设施再到应用程序，并通过研究和教育推进这些技术，以造福于中心成员、学生和整个学科。杨百翰大学的研究将涉及： 1) 用于航空航天和国防应用的新型核心架构和相关组件，2) HPC 代码到高性能可重构计算系统的应用映射，3) 可重构计算应用的剖析、分析和性能优化，4) 中间件、接口和其他高性能可重新配置计算机的基础设施。高性能可重构计算中心应显着增强美国在信息技术领域保持强大领导地位的努力。它还可以将行业和用户聚集在一起来定义共同标准。行业成员、研究人员和学生将从研究中心整个生命周期的互动中获益。这对所有人来说都应该是一次有益的经历，因为大学制定了详细的计划，旨在与几个少数族裔机构合作实现多元化。 RC 的进步几乎影响了所有需要高性能计算的科学和工程学科，无论是面向大型机的还是嵌入式的。 RC 技术有望生产出将软件可编程计算的灵活性与定制硬件的计算能力相结合的计算系统。
