UPPSALA UNIVERSITET: Information Technology: People@IT: People@Math
 

Erik Hagersten Professor in Computer Architecture

Research focus
I am running the research group UART We work on performance analysis and performance tools for memory systems, including  shared memory, inexpensive implementations of shared memory and adaptive algorithms for memory system implementations. See the report from the international evaluation panel KOF

We just got a $10M grant from the Swedish basic research counsil (VR) to perform multicore research in the UPMARC project (info from VR).

Startup
I founded the startup company Acumem 2006. Based on UART research results we have developed a new technique for anayzing the execution of applications and suggest ways to improve their performance. Acumem was acquired by Rogue Wave Software in September 2010 (See article) .

Teaching
I am responsible for the advanced course in computer architecture "Advanced ComputerArchitecture"
