Organic Nanospintronics (ORANOS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"Research on organic spintronics, which is especially promising due to the prospects of exceptionally long spin lifetimes in organic semiconductors, is currently in a critical phase. After a very successful starting period, progress is now being hampered, largely due to a limited understanding of the critical interfacial properties involved. The mechanisms behind the observed spin valve effects re ...

Verification of Concurrent Data Structures (VERCORS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Increasing performance demands, application complexity and explicit multi-core parallelism makes concurrency omnipresent in software applications. However, due to the complex interferences between threads in an application, concurrent software is also notoriously hard to get correct. Instead of spending large amounts of money to fix incorrect software, formal techniques are needed to reason about ...

Correct and Efficient Accelerator Programming (CARP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

In recent years, massively parallel accelerator processors, primarily GPUs, have become widely available to end-users. Accelerators offer tremendous compute power at a low cost, and tasks such as media processing, simulation, medical imaging and eye-tracking can be accelerated to beat CPU performance by orders of magnitude. Performance is gained in energy efficiency and execution speed, allowing i ...

Vibration is a daily occurrence in a wide range of machinery used in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, petro-chemical and building and construction. One of the major problems of vibration is that it causes wear and tear which in many instances can lead to equipment or structural failure. To prevent such occurrences, it is essential to not only monitor vibration levels but also to try an ...
