TL;DR: The authors deployed the reconfigurable fabric in a bed of 1,632 servers and FPGAs in a production datacenter and successfully used it to accelerate the ranking portion of the Bing Web search engine by nearly a factor of two.

TL;DR: The requirements and architecture of the fabric are described, the critical engineering challenges and solutions needed to make the system robust in the presence of failures are detailed, and the performance, power, and resilience of the system when ranking candidate documents are measured.
A Reconfigurable Fabric for Accelerating Large-Scale Datacenter Services
Andrew Putnam,Adrian M. Caulfield,Eric S. Chung,Derek Chiou,Kypros Constantinides,John Demme,Hadi Esmaeilzadeh,Jeremy Fowers,Gopi Prashanth Gopal,Jan Gray,Michael Haselman,Scott Hauck,Stephen F.

TL;DR: In this article, a composable, reconfigurable fabric is proposed to accelerate large-scale software services in a datacenter, which consists of a 6 x 8 2D torus of high-end field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) embedded into a half-rack of 48 servers.
Dempster's Rule As Seen By Little Colored Balls

TL;DR: It is proved, and illustrated by examples on colored balls, that Dempster’s rule in fact represents a method for serial combination of stochastic constraints, and is not a methods for cumulative fusion of belief functions under the assumption that subjective beliefs are an extension of frequentist beliefs.
