General Description
UPMARC has been formed to make a broad coordinated attack on the challenges of developing methods and tools to support software development for multicore computer systems, and brings together research groups in complementary areas of computer science: computer architecture, computer networks, parallel scientific computing, programming language technology, real-time and embedded systems, program verification and testing, and modeling of concurrent computation. UPMARC has been awarded a ten year Linnaeus grant from the Swedish Research Council, as a sign of scientific excellence. Research directions span of UPMARC span over programming language constructs, program analysis and optimization, resource management for performance and predictability, verification and testing, and parallel algorithm construction and implementation.
