# FCCM 20 Reading List #### Highlighting Significant Contributions from 20 Years of the IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (1993–2013) For the 20th anniversary of the International IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines in 2013, we assembled a special volume to highlight the most significant papers from the conferences. We highlight 25 papers across all years and major FCCM topics that best exemplify the contributions from the conference. Compared to 500+ papers that have appeared in the conference, 25 papers will represent roughly 5% of all the papers published in the conference to date. Listed below are the 25 papers. Linked for each paper is a one-page endorsement written by an expert in the field that captures the historical context in which the paper was written and offers a retrospective view on its significance. A URL link to the original paper is provided at the bottom of each endorsement. #### 1993 **Searching Genetic Databases on Splash 2** Dzung T.
