Computer architecture encompasses the structure, organization, implementation, and performance of the basic building blocks of computer systems. Research in computer architecture in the department focuses on the following basic issues:
Our current research in computer architecture covers a wide range of topics, from the microarchitecture level to the overall system level. Several of these projects are performed in collaboration with researchers in VLSI, Operating Systems, and Compilers. A sample of research projects is described below.
