ACE's primary focus lies in the pursuit of research avenues within the HPC fields of reconfigurable computing and many-core processing. This includes a mandate to port important codes to novel architectures, including FPGA and many-core solutions, to build a relevant skills and knowledge base of current technologies, to create our own functional hardware, software tools and HPC methodologies and to provide a service of transitioning such technology to local users.
ACE is currently involved in a number of projects pursuing these goals on a range of hardware architectures and software ideologies and is in the process of setting up collaborations with local and international institutions.
Much of the work of the ACE Laboratory set out below will be aligned with the academic year, so although financial years are quoted below, the work will be delivered in December of each year.
