Projects 

REPLICA

REPLICA is a 3-year (2011-2013) project funded by VTT. VTT collaborates with University of Linköping, Sweden, and University of Turku, Finland. The removing performance and programmability limitations of chip multiprocessor architecture (REPLICA) project aims at developing a CESM architecture and methodology that would enable radically easier programming and higher performance based on synchronous shared memory model of computation.
