| '''UPCRC Illinois''' is one of two Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers launched in 2008 by Microsoft Corporation and Intel Corporation<ref> (March 18, 2008).</ref> to accelerate the development of mainstream parallel computing for consumer and business applications such as desktop and mobile computing. UPCRC Illinois is a joint research effort of the Illinois Department of Computer Science and the Coordinated Science Laboratory. Research is conducted by faculty members and graduate students from the departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. UPCRC Illinois research faculty are led by Co-Directors Marc Snir and Wen-mei Hwu, and Director of Research, Sarita V. Adve. | |||

| ==Research== | |||
| The UPCRC Illinois whitepaper, , expands in great detail about three primary research themes:<br /> | |||
| <br />'''''Focus on Disciplined Parallel Programming''''' | |||
| <br />With a goal of making client parallel programming synonymous with programming, the Illinois approach involves developing disciplined parallel programming models and languages, supported by sophisticated development and execution environments, that will offer the analog of modern sequential programming principles for safety, structure, and separation of concerns.<br /> | |||
| <br />'''''Multi-Front Attack on Multicore Programming''''' | |||
| <br />UPCRC Illinois is taking a broad-based attack on parallelism at all levels of the stack that focuses on enabling performance, scalability, and support for programmability. This includes investigating disciplined explicitly parallel languages, metaprogramming and autotuners, and domain-specific environments. Leveraging Illinois strength in compilers, the UPCRC aims for a powerful translation environment to exploit information from multiple sources at different times in the life of a program. Refactoring tools will help move existing code to new environments. Formal, methods-based techniques and tools will help ensure correctness.<br /> | |||
| <br />'''''Human-Centric Vision of Future Consumer Applications''''' | |||
| Driving the Illinois agenda is a human-centric vision of future consumer applications, backed-up by research on application technologies to enable quantum-leaps in immersive visual realism, reliable natural-language processing, and robust teleprescence. Investigating these applications reveals new approaches to parallel pattern analysis, inspires new multicore versions of domain-specific environments, and serves as a testbed for evaluating, refining, and ultimately proving UPCRC ideas on multicore programming. | |||
| ==Parallel Computing History at Illinois== | |||
| Illinois history in parallel computing stretches more than 40 years. From the first academic parallel supercomputer, the ILLIAC IV started in 1964, to today’s work to install the first petascale computer, Blue Waters, Illinois has defined the landscape of parallel computing. Contributions from past and current Illinois faculty include: | |||
| * ILLIAC | |||
| * CEDAR | |||
| * Illinois Cache Coherence (MESI) Protocol | |||
| * OpenMP | |||
| * MPI | |||
| * Path Pascal | |||
| * Actors | |||
| * Java and C++ memory models | |||
| * Compilers and auto-parallelization techniques – Analyzer, Polaris, Parafrase, IMPACT, LLVM | |||
| * Race detection techniques | |||
| * Parallel runtime systems – Chare Kernel, Charm++ | |||
| * IBM/DARPA PERCS – a precursor to IBM’s Power 7 | |||
| * AVIO to detect atomicity violations | |||
| * Parallel programming patterns | |||
