The performance evaluation laboratory is part of the Department of Software,
the University of Aizu.
The laboratory mission in the broad sense is to contribute to:
- Theoretical Aspects of Performance Evaluation of Computer and
Communications Systems
- Tools and Techniques for the Performance Evaluation of Computer
and Communications Systems
- Applications to Computer and Communications Systems : Evaluations
and Performance
During fiscal year 1998 (Apr.1998 - Apr.1999) the laboratory was composed
of two faculty members. Current research interests include:
- Project PEHW: Reconfigurable Computing Performance Evaluation
Reconfigurable computing is increasingly used in various applications
in telecommunications and computer systems. Our focus here is to
investigate tools and techniques which allows quick performance
evaluation of reconfigurable computing systems. Both analytical and
simulations approach are investigated.
- Workload characterization of intelligent systems
An increasing number of applications make use of various intelligent
techniques such as: neural networks, fuzzy logic and evolutionnary
computation along with their combinations. Unfortunatly, little
work have been done so far on those workloads and their computationnal
requirements. Our own investigations
have shown that popular benchmarks such SPEC are not relevant for this
type of workloads.
- Rapid Prototyping and Performance Evaluation using Reprogrammable Devices
This research is concerned with the rapid prototyping and performance
evaluation of systems using
reprogrammable devices (PLD, FPGA). This is a hardware approach to
performance evaluation.
- CoEvolvable Hardware Workbench
This project addresses the problems of Cooperative coevolution using
reprogrammable hardware devices.
Performance Evaluation Laboratory faculty members are involved in both
the Graduate School of Engineering
Graduate Department of Information Systems (2nd field of studies,
Computer Organization and Parallel Processing) and the Graduate
Department of Computer Systems (8th field of studies, Computer
Network Systems).
Teachings includes: Parallel and Distributed Computer Architectures,
Fuzzy and Neural Processor Design.
At the undergraduate level faculty members are involved in computer
architecture, performance evaluation and programming courses.
From July 1999, the Performance Evaluation Laboratory includes
Dr. Hiroshi Toyoizumi. Dr. Hiroshi Toyoizumi
research interests are in the study of the theories of applied
probability and stochastic processes to use in performance evaluation.
The Performance Evaluation Laboratory was involved in various seminars
held in the University through invited speakers.
