Description:

This poster discusses untangled, a scientific game to discover new mapping algorithms for domain-specific architectures. Design objectives of next-generation portable/wearable devices are low power, high-performance, flexible, and able to run sophisticated applications within restricted power budgets. Domain-specific custom architectures show promise for achieving low energy flexible designs for a suite of applications. In order to deploy them practically, there is a great need to develop smart algorithms for mapping applications onto these architectures. The authors' goal is to discover novel algorithms by making the best use of human intuition and ability to recognize patterns and opportunities even in complex problems. The authors are developing a science game in which they present players mapping problems in an interactive game-like environment. Their plan is to crowd source it and roll it in the hands of thousands of players. Successful players' moves will be analyzed thoroughly to propose new algorithms that are beyond what can be conceived with traditional algorithms. This research has a broad impact on a wide range of next generation portable/wearable computing devices for health, multimedia, military, and aerospace purposes.
