Two papers on the Ubiquitous MultiProcessor (UMP) were both accepted in “the 21st IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications(AINA-07)” as our regarding the research achievement.

A presentation on a multiprocessor simulation system was given in “Eleventh Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference 2006(ACSAC2006)”. The system was developed for the research on the Ubiquitous MultiProcessor (UMP).

Simulation is one of the most effective ways to validate a basic communication mechanism of our innovative processor networks. A proprietary simulation system was developed and implemented on the state-of-the-art computer, multi-way cluster. This system achieved a high-performance simulation, constructed a simulation environment suitable for the research on UMP, and demonstrated the usefulness of the basic communication mechanism.

Nikkei reported our collaboration research activity with the University of Aizu in the morning edition of the newspaper on Aug. 11, 2006.

Our research project aims to design life environments through processing applications including images, sounds, and communications “anywhere and any time in appropriate manners.” Connecting a large number of processors surrounding our life environments is one of the effective ways to realize “anywhere and any time in appropriate manners” concept. This article introduced our research on a home network based on interconnected electronic appliances.
