In order to drastically improve the energy efficiency, we believe that future computer processors need to go beyond parallelization, and provide architecture support of customization and specialization so that the processor architecture can be adapted and optimized for different application domains. In particular, we believe that future processor architectures will make extensive use of accelerators to further increase energy efficiency. Such architectures present many new challenges and opportunities, such as accelerator synthesis, scheduling, sharing, virtualization, memory hierarchy optimization, and efficient compilation and runtime support. In this talk, I shall present our ongoing research in these areas in the Center for Domain-Specific Computing (supported by the NSF Expeditions in Computing Award).
