Mission
The COMPSYS laboratory conducts research activities in the area of Computing Systems, namely from high-performance custom and reconfigurable computing systems, to mobile and distributed, to embedded and cyber-physical systems.
Research activities include computational architectures, design and evaluation, software notations and tools (e.g., domain-specific programming languages), and non-functional requirements such as power consumption, fault tolerance, and timing (e.g., in real-time systems).
The mission of the COMPSYS lab is to conduct cutting-edge fundamental and applied research, with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art, contributing to the education and specialized training of human resources, cooperating with industry, and helping solve problems with societal impact.
