PARS Research Group at IZTECH
PARS (Parallel Systems) Research Group is led by Assistant Professor Işıl Öz. We are part of Computer Engineering Department at IZTECH.
Our group focuses on various issues:
- Multicore/GPU architectures
- Performance and reliability analysis of parallel systems
- Parallel software development
- Parallel programming models
We are always looking for motivated students interested in related topics. Please feel free to email Işıl!
