Whither computing

Whither Configurable Computing?

Chapter 1 Whither Reconfigurable Computing ?

We argue that FPGAs, more than two decades after they began to be used for computational purposes, have become one of the key hopes for extending the performance of computational systems in the era characterised by the end of Dennard scaling. We believe that programmability of future heterogeneous computing platforms has brought a new urgency to bear on several old problems in high-level synthe...

Whither Magnesium?

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12, an atomic weight of 24, and the common oxidation number 12. Magnesium is an alkaline metal and the eighth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, where it constitutes about 2% by mass, and ninth in the Universe. Magnesium is easily built up in supernova stars by the sequential addition of three helium nuclei to carbon. Magnesium ion...

Whither metacognition

We invited several people to make a contribution to the Special Section of LEAID onmetacognition and learning. Our aimwas to publish empirical papers that examine the role of metacognitive abilities and skills in a variety of decision-making and learning environments. Studies reporting creative uses and assessments of metacognitive constructs were particularly encouraged and the focus was suppo...
