The Computer Engineering (CE) Laboratory participates in this project. The CE Lab belongs to the Department of Microelectronics and Computer Engineering which is one of the departments of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science. The CE Lab performs research in and teaches the engineering discipline of how to design, implement, and integrate hardware and software to build a computing system. The laboratory is actively involved in computer architecture, network processing, compiler technology, tools for semi-automatic implementation of architectures, computer arithmetic and logic design, algorithms and tools for testing memories, built-in self-test of logic circuits, and automatic test pattern generation for combinational and sequential logic circuits, performance modeling and optimization techniques and tools. The laboratory includes some 9 faculty members, 3 staff members, 7 post-docs, 54 PhD students, and 48 MSc students. The CE Lab has extensively and successfully been involved in various EU and national research and industrial projects on embedded systems, heterogeneous multi-cores, and reliable circuits. The group is coordinator of the SARC Integrated Project, scientific coordinator of the hArtes Integrated Project, and a founding member of the HiPEAC NoE. TUDelft will focuse on two aspects of multi-core systems (WP3): 1. the development of tools and exploration techniques for hardware and software architectures to optimize their performance,2. the development of new FT methods to increase the overall runtime reliability of these system.

UOI HAI (CC, C2) AUTH UOI wp1 wp2 wp3 wp4 wp5 wp6 8 | 7 | 15 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 36 The University of Ioannina (UOI) is a thriving academic community located in the city of Ioannina, in the north-western region of Epirus, Greece. The Parallel Processing Group belongs to the Department of Computer Science of UOI and has been conducting leading research in various aspects of parallel systems including:Programming models Runtime support systems Collective communications Interconnection networks Architecture Lately, the group develops and maintains the OMPi infrastructure, a compilation and runtime support system for high-performance OpenMP programming. OMPi is currently used in many institutions for educational and research purposes. Members of the Parallel Processing Group have participated in national and EU-funded projects and have published extensively in top scientific journals and international conferences in the aforementioned research areas. • UOI is going to study the suitability and scalability of OpenMP-based multithreading for many-core architectures. • UOI will study the integration of platform-dependent characteristics into the compilation process. • UOI will work on the runtime environment that will provide support for the efficient execution of application threads. • UOI will contribute to parallelization of the mobile processing application for multi-core architectures, utilizing the OMPi tool and further extensions
