Abstract: A system for a data-parallel execution of at least two implementations of an application on reconfigurable processors with different layouts is presented. The system comprises a pool of reconfigurable data flow resources with data transfer resources that interconnect first and second reconfigurable processors having first and second layouts that impose respective first and second constraints for the data-parallel execution of the application.

Abstract: A host system for executing an application on first and/or second reconfigurable processors is presented. The host system is operatively coupled to the first and second reconfigurable processors, whereby the first reconfigurable processors have a first architecture, and the second reconfigurable processors have a second architecture that is different than the first architecture. The host system allocates reconfigurable processors of the first and/or second reconfigurable processors for executing the application and includes an auto-discovery module that is configured to determine whether the allocated reconfigurable processors include at least one of the first reconfigurable processors.

Abstract: Disclosed is a filter medium useful for flue gas filtering that comprises a non-woven fibrous web having at least 80 weight percent of meta-aramid fibers and from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of meta-aramid fibrids, based on weight of fibers and fibrids. The non-woven fibrous web can have average pore size of 20 to 80 micrometers, maximum pore size of 100 micrometers, dry Mullen burst strength of at least 7 kg/cm2, retention of 80% of the dry Mullen burst strength after acid cycling, a filtration efficiency of at least 95% for 2.5 micron particle, and/or a shrinkage of less than 2% after being heated in a dry oven at 205 ° C. for 2 hours. A method of making the filter medium comprises wet-laying a furnish of the meta-aramid fibers and the meta-aramid fibrids; drying to form the non-woven fibrous web; preferably, calendering; and optionally saturating with binder resin and curing.

Abstract: Fibrous filtration media and method of making the same are provided. According to preferred embodiments, the filtration media includes a wet-laid hot area-calendered nonwoven fibrous web which includes synthetic staple fibers, and from about 20 wt. % to about 80 wt. %, based on total weight of the fibrous web, of sheath-core bicomponent staple fibers dispersed through the fibrous web. The fibrous web exhibits dry and wet burst strengths of greater than 10 bar, preferably greater than about 12 bar, e.g. greater than about 15 bar.
