Smart Memories project is an effort to develop the computing infrastructure for next generation of applications. It is a single chip multi processor system with coarse grain reconfiguration capabilities, for supporting diverse computing models, like speculative multi-threading and streaming architectures. These features allow the system to run a broad range of applications efficiently. Research in this area involves VLSI circuits, Computer Architecture, Compiler, Operating systems and Computer Graphics.
Smart Memories is a project in Computer Systems Laboratory, which is a joint laboratory of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science departments at Stanford University.
