VINEYARD at the SPARK Summit Europe 2017 (Dublin)

On the 26 of October 2017, VINEYARD will be in Dublin, participating in the SPARK Summit Europe 2017 (#EUres8) with the intervention of VINEYARD’s coordinator, Christoforos Kachris from the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS-NTUA), in the session Hardware Acceleration of APACHE SPARK on Energy-Efficient FPGAS (October 26 - Thursday from 17:00 to 17:30).

In this talk, Mr Kachris will present the SPynq framework: A framework for the efficient mapping and acceleration of Spark applications on heterogeneous all-programmable MPSoC-based platforms, such as Zynq. Spark has been mapped to the Pynq platform and the proposed framework allows the seamlessly utilization of the programmable logic for the hardware acceleration of computational intensive Spark kernels.
