Can We Apply Accelerator-Cores to Control-Intensive Programs?

There is a trend towards using accelerators to increase performance and energy efficiency of general-purpose processors. So far, most accelerators have been build with HPC-applications in mind. A question that arises is how well can other applications benefit from these accelerators? In this paper, we discuss the acceleration of three benchmarks using the SPUs of a Cell-BE. We analyze the poten...
