Overview of Center for Domain-Specific Computing

In this short article, we would like to introduce the Center for Domain-Specific Computing (CDSC) established in 2009, primarily funded by the US National Science Foundation with an award from the 2009 Expeditions in Computing Program. In this project we look beyond parallelization and focus on customization as the next disruptive technology to bring orders-of-magnitude power-performance efficiency improvement for applications in a specific domain.
