Insight Computer Architecture Lab
We are a research group working in computer architecture and systems. Our goal is to generate the insights needed to architect future computers that are more energy-efficient, capable, reliable, and secure.
Research
We are interested in all aspects of computer architecture, with a special focus on the performance, reliability, and security of heterogeneous architectures and accelerators. See publications for our work.
We gratefully acknowledge support from NSF, Google, DOE, and NVIDIA. Our members have interned at AMD, Intel, and PNNL.
