What we work on
Research topics
Some of our research topics spanning theory and systems — from provably optimal schedules to FPGA accelerators and the open-source tools that make parallelism approachable.
Optimal Task Scheduling
Optimal solutions to NP-hard scheduling of task graphs with communication delays on parallel systems.
ProjectReconfigurable Computing
FPGAs as accelerators for high-performance computing, with a focus on high-level design and synthesis.
ProjectSoftware Engineering Education
Research and tools advancing how software engineering and parallel programming are taught.
InfrastructureSystems
Multi-core servers, workstations, FPGA accelerators, and NPU hardware available to the lab.
