Research in computer architecture encompasses both experimental and theoretical work on improving the performance, efficiency, reliability, and programmability of future computer systems. This highly interdisciplinary field stretches from circuits to operating systems with a focus at the hardware/software interface. Computer architects are discovering new challenges and opportunities with the inevitable end of Moore's law, the growing complexity of modern systems, the emergence of nanoscale physical design constraints, and the transition to mainstream parallel computing. Our core areas of expertise include heterogeneous accelerator-based computing systems; chip-level interconnection networks; secure computing platforms; power- and reliability-aware parallel architectures; reconfigurable and self-optimizing hardware; and architectures for emerging technologies.
