Annual Report 2012/2013

Department of Computer Architecture

Introduction

Agustín Fernández,Department Director.

In the framework of the campaign to promote the strategic linesof basic units, the Department of Computer Architecture (DAC) pre-sented a project in the 2009 call for the automated compilation of year-books.

This yearbook-the fifth to be published as a result of this project-describesthe DAC’s activities over the 2012-2013 academic year.

The information published was obtained from a number of databases heldby the DAC (single user, academic management, etc.) and by the UPC (sci-entific output, PRISMA, etc.). All data were processed automatically by anapplication developed by the DAC.

The yearbook is a compendium of most of the activities carriedout by members of the DAC. Future editions of the yearbook may in-clude other types of activities, providing they have been recorded in adatabase.

Finally, I would like to express my thanks to all of the staff at the DAC for their efforts over the academicyear, and I urge them to continue the good work.

3.2. Research Group ARCO

ARCO is formed by members of the Department of Computer Architecture at UPC, members of the Intel-UPC Barcelona Research Center and members of the Computer Science Department at the Universitat RoviraVirgili (URV). The group is formed by professors, PhD students, and post-doc researchers. The research ofthe group focuses on microarchitectures and compilers for future processors, bearing in mind the underlyingtechnology. The main goal is to increase performance, enhance reliability and reduce power dissipation offuture processors.

3.3. Research Group CAP

HPC group researchs on improving the efficiency of high-performance computing systems. To that end,it is necessary to take different approaches that require a certain level of cooperation and integration: mi-croarchitecture and multiprocessor architecture, compilers, operating systems, analysis, visualization and pre-diction tools, algorithms and applications. When measuring efficiency, and besides the classical approachthat includes the execution time, we will use metrics that consider design aspects (such as cycle time, areaand power dissipation of the processor and memory hierarchy, scalability of the microarchitecture and mul-tiprocessor organization), systems correctness, portability and easy-to-use of the programming models andperformance when running on multiuser, multiprogrammed and distributed environments, among others.

The investigation is focused on the Broadband networks, services and applications. Key topics in the devel-opment of research activities are: capture and traffic analysis, traffic modeling, traffic engineering, congestioncontrol, switching and routing protocols. These issues within the group are developed for both IP / MPLS aswell as for optical networks. In the latter case are included the development of control plane protocols andnetwork physical level.

The current research and development activities mainly deal with: the production, management and dis-tribution of multimedia content in a secure and standard way, including electronic commerce of multimediaservices and products and its business models; metadata use, search and interoperability to manage andstore information about content; and all aspects of security, privacy and digital management of rights alongthe content life cycle. A key issue in all the previous topics is standardisation. Furthermore, research is alsoprogressing on topics such as content adaptation and semantics, event reporting, ontologies and privacy andrights in online social networks.

3.8. Research Group ICARUS

The ICARUS group works on the Unmanned Aircraft Systems research topic (UAS) and on the Air TrafficManagement (ATM). In the UAS area the target is the development of systems that allow UAS efficient oper-ations in the civil world. Also, the group is working on the identification of high added value applications forUAS utility demonstrator. The UAS airspace integration is also a target of the group. A short term target is tobuild a prototype of UAS capable to fly autonomously to obtain useful data for end users which are not experton aeronautics. Technical research topics are: the aircraft, the avionics, the ground devices, communicationsand the software which creates the useful service out of these systems. In the ATM area the group is propos-ing new operative procedures that minimize the environmental impact of the general aviation and that will notcompromise the economics requirements of the airliners. Also the procedures must maintain or enhance thesecurity of the airspace.
