Abstract: The idea to launch a mini-symposium on parallel computing with FPGAs, was inspired by the need to explore the huge performance potential which can be tapped from the tiny computing blocks called field programmable gate arrays. Their features are so flexible and reconfigurable that they are capable of massively parallel operations, explicitly tailored to the problem at hand. That said, there have been a lot of paradigms to put FPGAs at work in a high performance computing environment. We are all beginning to see the new and exciting possibilities of reconfigurable computing. Because a new idea is as good as its successful application, we found that it is in the tradition of the ParCo parallel computing conferences to focus on application oriented solutions. This has led to seven interesting papers, which have been presented in this symposium.
