Development of a Hardware Accelerator
Type:
Master Project
Student:
Sebastian Gumbmann
Summary:
The objective of this project is to develop a hardware accelerator to solve a mathematical optimization problem. For the problem presented in [1] there exists a customized solver, based on C++/MPI, which can be executed on large computing clusters. The algorithm is based on an branch and bound algorithm. In each node some simple calculations have to be performed, which could also be accellerated on an FPGA.
