Why Adaptive Computing Matters

Adaptive computing enables users to build the exact processing pipeline for their needs. With CPUs and GPUs, the compute pipeline is fixed. You can program with the instruction set, but cannot change how the instructions are implemented.With adaptive computing, you can build custom instruction sets and then control how each instruction is pipelined, potentially saving memory access and optimally balancing throughput and latency. Adaptive computing hardware may be optimized for specific applications and then ...
