We are graduating 2 excellent Ph.D. students, who are now looking for a job starting Fall 2008: Radu Teodorescu , and Abhishek Tiwari . Please check their resumes.
The i-acoma group, led by Professor Josep Torrellas, focuses on new processor, memory, and system technologies and organizations to build novel multiprocessor computer architectures. The goal is to design high-performance multiprocessor computers that are very easy to program, inexpensive, and built out of commodity components.
The main emphasis is on several areas:
- Multiprocessor organization and system design
- Speculative multithreading
- Hardware reliability and variability
- Support for software reliability
- Low-power design
- Old Projects
We have released the tools:
- "SESC: A Simulator of Superscalar
Multiprocessors and Memory Systems with Thread-Level Speculation Support".
SESC is a multiprocessor simulator with support for thread-level speculation. - "Augmint: A Multiprocessor Simulation
Environment for Intel x86 Architectures".
Augmint is a multiprocessor tracing and evaluation package that runs on Intel x86 machines.
We are involved in the NCSA Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI) effort.
