The Vortex Project
Overview:
The Vortex project at the University of Maryland is investigating
novel architectural mechanisms to bridge the processor-memory gap. In
particular, we are interested in supporting the memory requirements of
emerging non-numeric applications such as databases, search engines,
and stream-based computing, as well as applications written in
object-oriented programming environments such as Java. In contrast to
traditional scientific workloads, emerging non-numeric applications
present new memory design challenges due to the unstructured nature of
the computation and data structures involved.
