Future computing systems
We are developing novel approaches to processing and computation.
Our facilities
We boast an incredible array of facilities, making our innovative future computing systems research possible.
From our foundations with the world's first stored-program computer, we have grown and expanded with society.
Today our focus is on identifying novel ways to exploit the formidable complexity of the billion transistor microchips that semiconductor technology will make commonplace over the next decade.
Areas of expertise
Our researchers focus their work in the following specialist areas:
-
Advanced processor technologies
From many-core computing to neuromorphic technologies, from adaptive compilers to field programmable gate arrays, we are advancing the state of the art for the next generation of energy-efficient computing hardware.
