Profile: | The Institute of Computer Science has had a relatively long history and recognised tradition, since its establishment in 1983, in conducting basic and applied research, developing applications and products, providing services, and playing a leading role in Greece and internationally, in the fields of Information and Communication Technologies. Activities of ICS cover important research and development areas, encompassing new perspectives, emerging fields of research and technological challenges worldwide. In its continuing efforts to exploit its research activities and results, the Institute contributes significantly to the diffusion of modern Information and Communications Technologies in the public and private sectors. Thus, ICS acts as a catalyst for the development of the Information and Communication Technologies sector in Greece, and the creation of favourable conditions for the emergence of an Information Society acceptable by all citizens. The Computer Architecture and VLSI Systems (CARV) Lab conducts Research and Development in the architecture, design, and implementation of computer, storage, communication, and network systems at the hardware and systems software level. Our work aims at addressing realistic problems in real systems, thus heavily relying on experimental setups to demonstrate the validity of our ideas and the viability of our solutions. As part of such work, state-of-the-art prototypes and infrastructures have been and continue to be built. Systems Software (run-time systems & OS, compilers, middleware) goes hand-in-hand with hardware architecture in achieving the efficient operation of information systems. The Scalable Systems critically rely on run-time software, which is the focus of our work. We concentrate on clusters of commodity components because they can scale to very large numbers of processors. In particular, we work on low-latency, high-bandwidth communication subsystems, block-level storage architectures, storage virtualization, storage access protocols, computer systems dependability and security support (networked storage security, system reliability and availability, network interface support for security-sensitive applications), and, more recently, on device miniaturization and sensor networks. |
