Recent Significant Research Contributions

Sotirios G. Ziavras

Some of my most significant contributions are centered on new advanced (unconventional) uniprocessor designs, architectures for parallel computers, and mapping (process assignment and scheduling) techniques for the efficient implementation of algorithms on parallel computers. My designs of high performance, low cost architectures emphasize system scalability and low VLSI complexity, two very desirable properties in parallel processing. My process assignment and scheduling techniques for the mapping problem take into account the computation and communication requirements of application algorithms for their efficient implementation on parallel computers; the emphasis is on image processing algorithms. Major contributions are identified below.
