NSF Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC) We are pleased to announce the official award and formation of a new national research center and consortium, the NSF Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC, pronounced "shreck"), under the auspices of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) program of the National Science Foundation. Having successfully completed a two-year development, review, and selection process at NSF, CHREC will become operational in January 2007. High-performance and reconfigurable computing, the focus of CHREC, hold tremendous promise in addressing the needs of a broad range of applications, in areas such as signal and image processing, cryptology, communications processing, data and text mining, optimization, bioinformatics, and complex system simulations, for a variety of platform types, from leading-edge machines on earth to mission-critical machines in space. Advantages from a reconfigurable approach can be realized in terms of performance, power, size, cooling, cost, versatility, scalability, and dependability to name a few, important facets where conventional computing infrastructure alone is proving unable to meet the needs of an increasing number of critical applications. The lead institution for CHREC is the University of Florida, with partner institution at the George Washington University, and pending partner institutions at Brigham Young University and Virginia Tech. Government and industry research partners are of vital importance for CHREC, where founding members include NSA, NASA, Honeywell, AFRL, Smiths Aerospace, Rockwell Collins, IBM Research, ORNL, Sandia, ONR, ARSC, and SGI.
