Recommendations Recommendations The project should urgently develop, implement and present a concrete strategy for raising the industrial interest and involvement in HiPEAC
Industryinvolvement Recommendations
Concrete Actions Industryinvolvement • Visibilityoutside the network: Booth at DATE • Redesigned website launchedon May 14 • Industryspecificsection
Concrete Actions Industry involvement • FP7 Call 4 industry participants: new contacts?! • Re-organised Industrial Workshop: • Increased company input:
Results • Samsung • Texas Instruments • Tensilica • Csill • ARM • Saab • Compaan • Agilent • Atmel • Ruchip • MoSys • XJ Tag • Same • Numonyx • CiaoTech DATE Booth: • Visitors from companies: • all companies were added to the newsletter • all new contacts receive a personal introduction by the coordinator Industry involvement
Results Industryinvolvement New industrymembersuntilnow: • Ronny Ronen (Intel) • Daniel Schiebli (SAP) • SergeyLounev (Intel) • David Molony (Movidia)
Recommendations The collaboration needs to follow a more holistic approach where there is a greater integration and focus of all activities Each cluster in WP2 needs to have a clearly defined objective and a clear strategy for achieving that objective. Together these sets of objectives and strategies need to form a coherent whole. The interactions between the different clusters need to be clearly presented. For each cluster, there needs to be a list of active members. All of these need to be reported in the Cluster Report. More quantitative figures about the different topics would also be helpful Recommendations Answer at WP2 Presentation
Recommendations Recommendations The Project Management should increase HiPEAC’s visibility and the link with Artemis
HiPEAC & Artemis HiPEAC & Artemis Concrete actions • CommunicateArtemiscall to HiPEAC members • VisitArtemisbooth at DATE • Informationgathered • “Centers of Excellence” • Expertise from HiPEAC members • Large research projects (20-30 partners) Follow-up: • Contact withArtemischair
Recommendations Recommendations The Management Report should contain a section giving an overview of related projects and initiatives at the European, National and International levels and their interaction with HiPEAC • A list of project proposals was added to the report.
Recommendations The Reconfigurable Computing cluster does not appear to address high-level language compilation to target devices such as FPGAs. This deficiency should be urgently addressed. This cluster needs to work more closely with the Programming Model cluster. There is a clear need to involve EU companies such as Mitrion, Nallatech, Alpha Data and Ylichron. The cluster urgently needs to set out a clear course of actions to realise relevant industrial involvement from within the EU. Industry needs to be more involved in clusters activities, especially requesting what they really need from the academic research. This course of actions should be reported at the formal review. Recommendations Answer at WP2 Presentation
Recommendations Section 3.2.1 of D2.1 presents a scenario "where multiple threads compete for shared resources". The scalability of this approach and alternatives such as distributed memory models should be discussed in this section. Recommendations Answer at WP2 Presentation
Recommendations A more systematic approach for analyzing real applications should be found. This should involve finding the characteristics of real applications vs. 4 benchmarks. Quantitative figures for comparing the different platforms should be provided to demonstrate the potential for further research and development. Recommendations Answer at WP2 Presentation
Recommendations The management report for the formal review should rank the HiPEAC conference relative to the list of the top conferences. Recommendations Answer at WP3 Presentation
Recommendations Recommendations For all events such as the Summer School and workshops, detailed feedback should be gathered from the participants and presented to the reviewers. This feedback should be used to establish a strategy to improve the spreading of excellence (HiPEAC Conference, Journal, Summer School, etc.)
Event Feedback Event Feedback Event feedback gathered at: • Computing Systems Week Barcelona • Summer School 2008 Will bedoneagain in the next project year: • Computing Systems Week Muenchen • Summer School 2009 • Conference 2010
Recommendations Efforts should be made to increase the number of submissions to the HiPEAC journal in order to raise its quality and standing. Recommendations Answer at WP3 Presentation
Recommendations The project website (www.hipeac.net) should be improved and much more focused towards the attraction of new members. In particular, the web presentations of the clusters need to be improved. Website statistics should be presented on a monthly basis and carefully analysed to guide the improvement of the site. Publications should be available from the Web page, especially those who done jointly within the WP2 clusters. Recommendations www.hipeac.net
Website Website Input gatheredfrom IBM Communications New website launchedon May 14, 2009 • New layout • Modern look • HiPEAC Colours • New structure • Easier to findwhatyou’relookingfor • Mimicking the project’sstructure • Dynamicmenus
Website Website Industryappeal • Industryspecificsection • Activityhighlights Cluster websites • Updated and newlayout Publications • Full publicationsoverview of all members and affiliates • (http://www.hipeac.net/publications_overview)
Recommendations Recommendations The circulation of the newsletter should be presented on a quarterly basis • This information will be presented as such in the next reporting.
Recommendations The repository of Task 3.6 should be urgently implemented Recommendations Answer at WP3 Presentation
Recommendations The web seminars should be more strongly promoted and numbers of downloads for each seminar should be presented Recommendations Answer at WP3 Presentation
Recommendations Recommendations WP3 needs to maintain an overall list of publications indicating to which cluster(s) each publication belongs • The list was attached to the report.
Recommendations A clear formula for allocation of funding for internships (partner/member and academic/industrial) urgently needs to be found. Recommendations Answer at WP1 Presentation
