Multicore and chip multiprocessor (CMP) — hardware and software challenges
This page summarises current research and teaching by Prof. Dr.Ing. Lasse Natvig and the other multicore research group members. The group is part of the computer architecture and design group, at IDI, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway. Prof. Natvig is full member of the HiPEAC Network of Excellence (NoE). The current research focus is multicore HW and SW, chip multiprocessors (CMP), green (energy aware) computing as well as parallel computing in general. Our ultimate goal is to achieve top quality publications in these scientific areas and with high industrial relevance.
