OSM Research in the HPI Future SOC Lab

Together with EMC, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, SAP, and VMware as industrial partners, the Hasso-Plattner-Institute has been established the HPI Future SOC Lab, that provides a complete infrastructure for research on multicore, large main-memory, and service-based systems. The lab hosts research projects on the latest multi/many-core hardware.
Our group participates in the FutureSOC lab with topics related to system dependability, scalability and programming models.
