The professor of the University of Murcia Alberto Ros, of the Department of Computer Engineering and Technology of the Faculty of Informatics, has been selected to be part of the 291 projects that the European Research Council awards in the ERC Consolidator Grants 2018 call. projects are awarded to the best researchers in Europe to carry out top-level research projects.
Alberto Ros's project, entitled 'ECHO: Extending Coherence for Hardware-Driven Optimizations in Multicore Architectures', consists of improving the performance of today's multiprocessors, present in the vast majority of devices: mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers and servers. high benefits
On the one hand, it's about improving its performance by getting applications to run faster.
On the other hand, it is intended to reduce its energy consumption, something fundamental both in mobile, so that the battery lasts longer, and in high-performance servers that consume a large amount of energy.
The way to achieve this involves the need to improve the speculation techniques used in current processors.
The speculation consists in advancing work by the processor without being sure if that work will be correct or necessary.
Call ERC Consolidator Grant
This European call, with a success rate of 12.2 percent, distributes 550 million euros to 291 research projects throughout the continent, selected from 2,389 proposals.
