The advantages of using lattices lies in that they cannot be broken by \u201cquantum\u201d computers, and the crypto generated can be very fast and efficient on parallel processors. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe goal is to do as much interesting cryptography as possible with lattices\u2014securely and efficiently,\u201d Peikert said. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKim earned her CAREER award for the proposal \u201cCPU- and GPU-Based Heterogeneous Architecture Design and Managements.\u201d \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.scs.gatech.edu\/features\/agile-architecture\u0022 target=\u0022_self\u0022\u003EHer research\u003C\/a\u003E involves investigating a new resource management system that uses analytical and statistical models to predict application performance and energy consumption behaviors. These models will be also used for exploiting heterogeneous architecture design choices.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cHeterogeneous architectures are becoming the new trend of computing platforms,\u201d Kim said. \u201cReally soon, smartphones and tablets such as iPhone and the Android will have them as well. More and more people will care about computing efficiency because of battery life. Our research will develop new hardware and software cooperative mechanisms to increase performance but also to use less power.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo learn more about their proposal or read the full abstract, visit the NSF website for \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1054495\u0022 target=\u0022_self\u0022\u003EPeikert\u003C\/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1054830\u0022 target=\u0022_self\u0022\u003EKim\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAssistant professors Chris Peikert and Hyesoon Kim of the School of \nComputer Science are the latest two College of Computing faculty members\n to earn NSF CAREER Awards. \u003Cem\u003ESource: Office of Communications\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27166","created_gmt":"2011-02-02 15:44:25","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:06","author":"Juliet Helms","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-02-02T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2011-02-02T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"7842","name":"NSF CAREER Award"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMike Terrazas\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech College of Computing\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404.385.7225\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["mterraza@cc.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
