Overview

ISI’s Heterogeneous Computing group has been leading research programs targeting heterogeneous, multi-core, and accelerator-based computing for nearly 10 years. With the breakdown in Dennard Scaling, general-purpose processor performance gains have slowed. The end result is that computer architectures have moved towards heterogeneity and dark silicon. ISI’s heterogeneous computing group has made significant contributions to cloud computing, space systems software, virtualization, and resource management.
