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.

该奖项确立了杨百翰大学（BYU）作为高性能可重构计算工业/大学合作研究中心（IUCRC）的研究地点。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）。在高性能计算领域中，RC技术被用于加速要求苛刻的计算，否则这些计算将在大型计算系统的软件中执行。在HPEC中，RC技术用于在信号和图像处理、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。该中心的任务是调查、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，并通过研究和教育来推进这些技术，以造福中心成员、学生和整个学科。杨百翰大学将进行的研究；1)航空航天和国防应用的新型核心架构和相关组件，2)高性能可重构计算系统的高性能计算代码的应用映射，3)可重构计算应用的分析、分析和性能优化，4)高性能可重构计算机的中间件、接口和其他基础设施。高性能可重构计算中心应显著加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定义通用标准。行业成员、研究人员和学生将从研究中心的整个生命周期的互动中获益。这对所有人来说都是一次有益的经历，因为大学有一个详细的计划，在与几所少数族裔机构的合作中实现多样性。RC的进步几乎影响到所有需要高性能计算的科学和工程学科，无论是面向大型机还是嵌入式。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。
