The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued a new solicitation for the Exploiting Parallelism and Scalability (XPS) program. The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) 2012 White Paper “21st Century Computer Architecture” was a key driver for the development of this program. The Exploiting Parallelism and Scalability (XPS) program aims to support groundbreaking research leading to a new era of parallel computing. Achieving the needed breakthroughs will require a collaborative effort among researchers representing all areas– from services and applications down to the micro-architecture– and will be built on new concepts, theories, and foundational principles. New approaches to achieve scalable performance and usability need new abstract models and algorithms, new programming models and languages, new […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

January 3rd, 2014 / in Uncategorized / by Ann DrobnisUpdate January 6, 2014: This event has been cancelled due to weather. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) is pleased to announce a Distinguished Lecture on Monday, January 6, 2014 at 12:00 pm (EST) titled Designing Disruptive Learning Technologies. This lecture is sponsored by the Cyberlearning: Transforming Education Working Group. Professor Tom Moher of the University of Illinois at Chicago, will showcase his designs for using “embedded phenomena” to bring the field into the classroom and foster learning from those experiences. Using RoomQuake, 4th and 5th graders experience earthquakes, find their epicenters, and calculate their magnitude and intensity. RoomBugs and WallScopes simulate dynamic […]
“My Experiences as a CIFellow”
January 2nd, 2014 / in Uncategorized / by Shar SteedThe following is a special contribution to this blog by Shay Cohen. Cohen was a 2011-2013 Computing Innovation Fellow (CIFellow) at Columbia University. He is now a Chancellor’s Fellow in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. When I finished my graduate studies and defended my thesis at Carnegie Mellon in September 2011, I had already started my position at Columbia as a CIFellow with Michael Collins. It was actually not too long before my defense that I heard about being awarded a CIFellowship. It was a great relief to learn this — I had already heard from a few other previous-year CIFellows that the program is great and […]
