Presentation Transcript

  1. Computer Architecture Fred Chong and Matt Farrens Department of Computer Science

  2. Goals • Architectural design driven by new technologies and applications • Technology transfer • Produce graduates with broad “systems” training and depth in core architecture

  3. QARC Quantum Architecture Research Center • Collaboration with MIT, Berkeley, and UW • Funded for 5 years by DARPA with $3M • Goal: drive nanoscale technology by designing scalable quantum computers

  4. FY’03 Quantum Ion-Trap Simulation

  5. Hardware for Reliable Software Compute • Extra chip space • Not just for performance • HW to check for: • Buffer overflows • Stack integrity • Code privileges Funded by NSF ITR, Farrens, Chong, Devanbu $370K

  6. DSP Design • Today’s Digital Signal Processors can not perform many tasks (eg processing wireless signals) without special-purpose hardware. • How can we build more flexible systems which meet speed and power requirements? • Parallelism • Low-latency interconnect • Voltage/frequency scaling Funded by NSF ITR, Chong, Akella, Baas $300K

  7. Synchroscalar

  8. Collaborations • Intel, Mitsubishi, Compaq/HP • Internships • Research projects • Joint government contracts
