Description
The University of Oxford was the setting for the workshop where the papers in this book were first presented. Authors from around the world have contributed papers covering theory, practical applications and commercial products, with particular emphasis on VLSI implementations and applications. They put hardware accelerators in their correct context alongside emerging software algorithms which also claim useful speed advantages. Forthcoming commercial developments and research work are presented by the leaders in the field.
