The SMILE project attempts to build efficient lowcost clusters based on FPGA boards using their reconfigurability capabilities. A real parallel application of Content-Based Information Retrieval over the SMILE cluster is presented. Using this application the SMILE cluster¿s performance is evaluated and compared in terms of time and power consumption with traditional cluster architecture.
