The Rogues Gallery is a new concept focused on developing our understanding of next-generation hardware with a focus on unorthodox and uncommon technologies. This project, initiated by Georgia Tech’s Center for Research into Novel Computing Hierarchies (CRNCH), focuses on acquiring new and unique hardware (ie, the aforementioned “rogues”) from vendors, research labs, and startups and on making this hardware available to students, faculty, and industry collaborators within a managed data center environment. By exposing students and researchers to this set of unique hardware, we hope to foster cross-cutting discussions about hardware designs that will drive future performance improvements in computing long after the Moore’s Law era of “cheap transistors” ends.
