Acalis® Field Programmable MultiCores: A New Class of Semiconductors
This paper provides a brief overview of Field Programmable MultiCores (FMPCs) in general, and specifics regarding the Acalis FPMC family.

High Performance Computing: Compatible Acceleration Using Fine Grain, Parallel Processing
In many cases, organizations are not realizing expected performance increases when running large, complex applications on HPC computers.  A mismatch between existing computer architectures and the applications running on them is exacerbating the inefficiencies inherent in these systems.  The paper discusses the structure and function of fine grain Multiprocessor in Memory (MNM) devices, such as Acalis, and how they can be applied to address the problem.

Deeply Coupled Computing: Parallel Processing Architecture for Mass Market Applications
Solving many of the most important scientific and engineering problems today requires the use of High Performance Computers.  However, there are several major issues currently facing the field regarding efficiencies, programmability and purchase and operating costs.  Deeply Coupled Computing enables the utilization of high performance computing by a broad range of problems that cannot be solved using today’s architectures.  This paper describes the need for and application of Deeply Coupled Computing.
