Modern and next-generation high-performance computer systems with reconfigurable architecture

Abstract

The paper covers the architecture and comparative specifications of reconfigurable computer systems (RCS) based on FPGAs of Xilinx Virtex-7 family: the computational modules 24V7-750 and Taygeta, which can be placed into a computational rack, and the reconfigurable desktop computational block Celaeno. Besides, the paper covers the architecture and assembly of the next-generation RCS based on liquid cooling, the results of prototyping of principal engineering solutions. The technology of implementation of applied tasks using the application development suit is considered. The next-generation RCS based on liquid cooling  provide the performance up to 1 PFlops  in a standard 47U computational rack with power consumption of 150 kWatts. It has a significant advantage of such technical and economical parameters as real and specific performance, power efficiency, mass and dimension parameters, etc. in comparison with other similar systems.
