Morpheus

Abstract

Recently, system designers are facing the challenge of developing systems that have diverse features, are more complex and more powerful, with less power consumption and reduced time to market. These contradictory constraints have forced technology providers to pursue design solutions that will allow design teams to meet the above design targets. In that respect, this paper introduces an innovative technology platform, called MORPHEUS, which intents to provide complete design framework for dealing with the aforementioned challenges. MORPHEUS consists of a state of the art architecture that encompasses heterogeneous reconfigurable accelerators for implementing on the same hardware architecture applications with varying characteristics and a tool chain that, through a software oriented approach, eases the implementation of highly complex applications with heterogeneous characteristics. The proposed approach has been tested and evaluated through state of the art cases studies borrowed from complementary application domains.

An Experimentally Defined Hypoxia Gene Signature in Glioblastoma and Its Modulation by Metformin

“…K-means clustering allowed us to group patients in high risk or low risk categories, according to signature expression (one minus Pearson correlation metric) and the similarity matrix was used to compare the expression of different gene families in the signature and to estimate the correlation (Pearson correlation metric). Analysis and graphs were generated using Morpheus [45]. Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis and curves were done with Prism 8, Version 8.2.1, 2019.…”

Power mitigation of a heterogeneous multicore architecture on FPGA/ASIC by DFS/DVFS techniques

“…HARP is designed in order to maximize the number of computational resources for accelerating many specific computationally intensive algorithms besides investigating the issues related to Dark Silicon. In addition to HARP, other state-of-the-art homogeneous and heterogeneous computing platforms have been introduced so far such as Platform 2012 ( [12], [13]) and MORPHEUS ( [14], [15]) which is one of the most promising heterogeneous platforms. MORPHEUS has been designed by Rossi et.…”
