INVASIC

In the Transregional Collaborative Research Center Invasive Computing (abbr. InvasIC), we are investigating a novel paradigm for the design and resource-aware programming of future parallel computing systems. For systems with 1000 and more cores on a chip, resource-aware programming is of utmost importance to obtain high utilisation as well as computational and energy efficiency numbers. With this goal in mind, invasive computing was introduced to give a programmer explicit handles to specify and argue about resource requirements desired or required in different phases of execution... InvasIC is currently being funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in its third period of four years (July 2018 - June 2022), aggregating researchers from three excellent sites in Germany (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Technische Universität München). This scientific team includes specialists in algorithm engineering for parallel algorithm..
